Which of the following is not true about thalassemia ?
Correct answer: D. Increased in number of globulin chain
- A. There is severe anaemia and thrombocytopenia
- B. There is erythrocyte fragility and hemolysis
- C. Hypochromic microcytic anaemia is present
- D. Increased in number of globulin chain
Explanation
Thalassemia results from reduced synthesis of one globin chain, producing an imbalance rather than a general increase in globin-chain numbers. The resulting red cells are hypochromic and microcytic, while thrombocytopenia is mainly a complication of splenomegaly in severe disease.
