[ad_1] Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder characterized by abnormal hemoglobin production, leading to reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells. While symptoms of thalassemia can vary depending on the severity of the condition, early detection is crucial for timely intervention and management. Here are some early signs of thalassemia shared by Dr Sheetal Sharda, Clinical Geneticist, Director-Clinical Genomics Development and Implementation,Neuberg Centre for Genomic Medicine that parents should watch out for: Fatigue and Weakness Children with thalassemia may experience persistent fatigue and weakness due to inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues and organs. They may appear lethargic, have low energy levels, and tire easily, even with minimal physical activity.

The research, which will be published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, clarifies a debate about memory function in kids with autism, showing that their memory struggles surpass their ability to form social memories. The finding should prompt broader thinking about autism in children and about treatment of the developmental disorder, according to the scientists who conducted the study. “Many high-functioning kids with autism go to mainstream schools and receive the same instruction as other kids,” said lead author Jin Liu, PhD, a postdoctoral scholar in psychiatry and behavioral sciences. Memory is a key predictor of aca
