Beta-thalassemia (β-thalassemia) is an autosomal dominant blood condition that results in the reduction of hemoglobin production. The cause for the disorder is related to a genetic mutation of the HBB gene. This gene is responsible for providing the instructions to produce beta-globin; one of the major components of hemoglobin.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a blood disorder that results in blood clots forming in small blood vessels throughout the body. [2] This results in a low platelet count, low red blood cells due to their breakdown, and often kidney, heart, and brain dysfunction. [1]

Women with this deficiency experience menorrhagia: prolonged, abnormal heavy menstrual bleeding. [3] This is typically a symptom of the disorder when severe blood loss occurs.

Keltie Knight revealed she has been suffering from a “stubborn” type of blood disorder — which has now forced her to undergo a hysterectomy. “I’ve been silently suffering for most of the ...
Haemophilia A is a recessive X-linked genetic disorder resulting in a deficiency of functional clotting Factor VIII. [41] Haemophilia B is also a recessive X-linked genetic disorder involving a lack of functional clotting Factor IX. [44] Haemophilia C is an autosomal genetic disorder involving a lack of functional clotting Factor XI.
