Without regular blood transfusions, affected individuals by major beta-thalassemia typically develop severe anemia and related complications early in life, while beta-thalassemia intermedia patients would have a variable clinical course, complications, and prognosis. beta-thalassemia minor subjects would not have significant symptoms, while in some cases might have an increased risk for iron deficiency anemia.

Overview
Without regular blood transfusions, affected individuals by major beta-thalassemia typically develop severe anemia and related complications early in life, while beta-thalassemia intermedia patients would have a variable clinical course, complications, and prognosis. beta-thalassemia minor subjects would not have significant symptoms, while in some cases might have an increased risk for iron deficiency anemia. Iron overload complications happen in transfusion-dependent thalassemia.
