People suffering with Thalassemia can marry any other person of their choice and live a normal family life and yes, even have babies! A Thalassemia patient may have a good reproductive health if proper care is taken from the very beginning of the patient’s life.
When a Thalassemic marries, it is not necessary that all their kids will be affected by thalassemia but it depends on the traits of the person whom they marry. On the basis of types of Thalassemia, explained below are the outcomes that may occur when a Thalassemia patient marries:
⦁ Thalassemia Minor with Normal Person: If a thalassemia minor patient will marry a normal person then, in each pregnancy there will be a 50% chance that the child will be a thalassemia minor and the other 50% child will be normal. The diagram below explains the above outcomes.
⦁ Thalassemia Minor with Thalassemia Minor: If a thalassemia minor will marry a thalassemia minor then, in each pregnancy there shall be a 25% chance for the child to be normal, 50% chance for Thalassemia minor and the other 25% will be for the child to be Thalassemia Major. The diagram below explains the above outcomes.
⦁ Thalassemia Major with Normal Person: – If a thalassemia major patient marries a normal person then, in each pregnancy there is 100 % possibility of the child to carry thalassemia minor trait. In India there are many cases in which a thalassemia major is married to a normal person and has given birth to a child. Preetha Mukherjee, 27, a thalassemia major has married a Normal person and has given birth to a child who is a Thalassemia Carrier.
⦁ Thalassemia Major with Thalassemia Major: – If a thalassemia major marries another major then the child has to be a Thalassemia Major patient as both the parents are Thalassemia Majors. Therefore, pregnancy in such case is not at all advisable.
⦁ Thalassemia Major with Thalassemia Minor: – If a thalassemia major marries a Thalassemia minor then, in case of pregnancy there is a 50% chance that the child will be thalassemia major and a 50% chance that he/she will be a Thalassemia Minor. The diagram below explains the above outcomes: –
In order to avoid having kids affected with Thalassemia, one must get himself/ herself tested before planning for marriage. And if you are a Thalassemia Carrier, you must avoid getting married to another Thalassemia Carrier in order to Prevent Thalassemia Major. For this one shall get the HB Electrophoresis Test done.
However, in case, the test could not be done, we would then encourage you to test the unborn between10-12 weeks of pregnancy, this is known as Pre Natal Diagnosis .Abortion is allowed and is legal in such cases.

My girlfriend has beta thalassemia carrier but I have normal blood cell. But our blood group is same O+ . What kind of chances of our baby to become Thalassemia patient. Please advice me.
Firstly, apologies for a delayed reply.
If one of the partner has Thalassemia Minor, there is no risk to the child. Risk arises only when both are Thalassemia minors.
In view of thalassemia-enquiry-based blood reports, my partner carries Hb E Heterozygous, while I carry Hb E Trait Heterozygous.
Now that we have planned to be married, I seek answers to the following questions I may hope you would deal with care and to our satisfaction :
Questions :
01. our issue is going to be a thalassemia patient ?
02. if yes, what kind of thalassemia is he/she going to carry ?
03. if yes, then what is the possibility rate of such a baby born ?—I mean 25%/50%/75% ?
04. is it a rare combination or common in southeast Asian countries ? and in that case, we should strictly stop ourselves from marriage and childbirth ?
Please consult a good hematologist for this.

Apologies for the late response!
Since both of you are Thalassemia minor, there is a 25% chance that your child will have Thalassemia major. Therefore, in case you do get married, you need to get a pre-natal diagnosis done between the 10th and 12th week of pregnancy to find out if the to be born child will be Thalassemia Major or not.
Please consult your doctor for more details.

She can marry the normal guy. Child would carry the same gene as your daughter,that means child will only be thalassemia minor.
She can marry normal person, if she is OK with all hormones and endocrine then she can bear a baby, babies would be thalassemia minor.
No thalssemia gene is present in blood.
You can marry the guy with thalassemia minor but you have to be cautious while pregnancy,you have to do cvs test to check whether baby is thalassemia major.
If both partner are thal minor 50 % chance babay would be thalassemia major, 25%-25% minor or normal
How long do thalassemia intermedia patients live?? If thala intermeida boy marry with normal girl…do they face issue during pregnancy or do they have normal baby?
Thal intermedia boy can marry a normal girl. Babies will be Thal minor, which means they will carry the genes of Thalassemia. There will be no issue in pregnancy if there are no other issues with the boy and girl.
It depends on factors how well thalassemia is managed, like pretransfusion HB, Ferritin, etc
