Difference between Anemia and Hemoglobinopathy

Anemia vs. Hemoglobinopathy

Anemia is a decrease in the total amount of red blood cells (RBCs) or hemoglobin in the blood, or a lowered ability of the blood to carry oxygen. Hemoglobinopathy is a kind of genetic defect that results in abnormal structure of one of the globin chains of the hemoglobin molecule.

Similarities between Anemia and Hemoglobinopathy

Anemia and Hemoglobinopathy have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, Globin, Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, Hemoglobin, Malaria, Sickle cell disease, Thalassemia.

Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia

Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) is a rare blood disorder, similar to the thalassemias.

Globin

The globins are a superfamily of heme-containing globular proteins, involved in binding and/or transporting oxygen.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDD) is an inborn error of metabolism that predisposes to red blood cell breakdown.

Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin (American) or haemoglobin (British); abbreviated Hb or Hgb, is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells of all vertebrates (with the exception of the fish family Channichthyidae) as well as the tissues of some invertebrates.

Malaria

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease affecting humans and other animals caused by parasitic protozoans (a group of single-celled microorganisms) belonging to the Plasmodium type.

Anemia and Hemoglobinopathy Comparison

Anemia has 208 relations, while Hemoglobinopathy has 30. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 2.94% = 7 / (208 + 30).
