Abnormalities of Hemoglobin Disorders Quiz

Thalassaemias result in an imbalance in alpha to beta chain ratio, while Hemoglobinopathies result in excessive fetal hemoglobin production.

Thalassaemias are genetic disorders, while Hemoglobinopathies are acquired disorders.

Thalassaemias cause changes in amino acid sequences of globin chain, while Hemoglobinopathies lead to reduced hemoglobin synthesis.

Thalassaemias involve a reduced rate of globin chain synthesis, while Hemoglobinopathies involve structural abnormalities in the globin chain. (correct)
