Beta-Thalassemia Minor is a genetic blood disorder characterized by a reduced production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Individuals with this condition typically inherit one mutated gene from a parent, leading to mild anemia. Most people with Beta-Thalassemia Minor do not experience significant health issues and may not even realize they have the condition. Diagnosis is often made through blood tests that reveal low hemoglobin levels and specific changes in red blood cell appearance. While Beta-Thalassemia Minor is generally considered a mild form of thalassemia, it is important for individuals to be aware of their carrier status, especially when planning a family.
