[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Thalassemia (that) is a blood related disorder. It is of two types- that beta and that alpha. Depending on the severity of the disease, it is trait, minor or major. Heamoglobin molecule is made up of two pairs protein chain called - alpha and beta. A decrease or absence of any one of these two pairs causes alpha or beta chains. So, in your case there is involvement of beta chain. If the beta chain is completely absent, it is called that beta major. If the chain is present but in lower quantity it is called that trait or that minor. The trait is first detected at the age of 34 years in your case. It was not symptomatic during your childhood and adolescence, so there is nothing to worry. Hemoglobin level is also marginally low, so nothing practically needs to be done. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
