Cooley's anemia is another name used for___________?

Correct answer: B. Thalassaemia

  • A. Leucemia
  • B. Thalassaemia
  • C. Sickle cell anemia
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Cooley's anaemia is beta-thalassaemia major, an inherited disorder in which defective beta-globin production causes severe anaemia. Students may choose sickle-cell anaemia because both are inherited haemoglobin disorders, but sickle-cell disease results from abnormal haemoglobin shape rather than reduced beta-globin synthesis.
