Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The disorder results in large numbers of red blood cells being destroyed, which leads to anemia.The consequences of this disease range from iron-overload, which causes damage to the heart, liver and the endocrine system, iron overload, high susceptibility to various infections, bone deformities, enlarged spleen, slow growth rates in young children, congestive heart-failure or irregular heart rhythms, etc
