What happens if one is heterozygous for both thalassemia and sickle-cell anemia? Does one die or does one just have the ability to live in mosquito infested swamps (like Minneapolis?)
What happens if one is heterozygous for both thalassemia and sickle-cell anemia?A question I was asking myself as I posted. I don't know.
My **guess** is it would be bad news, since you wouldn't have any normal hemoglobin. I'm certainly unaware of any research on this.
