Sorting type: |. Confirmed Beta Level Mutants. A character can only be added to this category if they have a reference for when they were 'outed' as a Beta.
Alpha thalassemia occurs when a mutation in the gene that codes for alpha globin results in reduced or absent production of alpha globins. Beta thalassemia occurs with a corresponding change in the beta globin gene. Therefore, the thalassemias are a result of quantitative mutations in the globin genes.
