Thalassemia is the inherited blood disorders that can result in the abnormal formation of hemoglobin. Sickle Cell Anemia is the severe hereditary form of anemia in which a mutated form of hemoglobin distorts the red blood cells into a crescent shape at low oxygen levels. Hemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder in which the blood doesn't clot normally. Hemoglobinopathy is a kind of genetic defect that results in abnormal structure of one of the globin chains of the hemoglobin molecule.
