Thalassemias are characterized by an imbalance in globin chain synthesis. When patients having beta-thalassemia major are given transfusions, globin synthesis is transiently suppressed, particularly the alpha chains. This results in a relatively improved alpha/beta ration that may erroneously be interpreted as indicating stimulation of beta chain synthesis.
地中海贫血的特点是珠蛋白链合成失衡。当给重型β地中海贫血患者输血时,珠蛋白合成会暂时受到抑制,尤其是α链。这导致α/β比值相对改善,这可能会被错误地解释为表明β链合成受到刺激。
