Genetic Services - Grants to Support Comprehensive Medical Care for Cooley's Anemia/Thalassemia: The purpose of this grant activity is to fund up to three projects that will support the demonstration of a model system of comprehensive care and medical management for individuals and families at risk or affected by Thalassemia. Such model should involve a complex network of services ranging from screening, diagnosis, counseling, education, and psychosocial services to specialized medical care including regular red blood cell transfusions and the monitoring, prevention, and treatment of iron overload resulting from repeated transfusions. Thalassemia is a group of genetic blood disorders; two of the most severe of these are Beta Thalassemia Major and Alpha Thalassemia Major. Both alpha thalassemia and beta thalassemia occur predominantly among individuals of African, Asian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern descent.
