Thalassemia is a genetic blood condition that causes severe anemia.
Individuals with thalassemia are required to have blood transfusions every
2-4 weeks, and undergo chelation therapy to rid of the excess iron built up
as a result of regular transfusions. Children's Hospital is only 1 of 6
centers of specialty in North America for thalassemia and serves patients
from around the world.
