Yes, anemia may be genetic. Hereditary disorders can shorten the lifespan of the red blood cell and lead to anemia (for example, sickle cell anemia). Hereditary disorders can also cause anemia by impairing the production of hemoglobin (for example, alpha thalassemia and beta thalassemia).
Haemoglobin and Disease. Decreased levels of haemoglobin, with or without the concomitant decrease in red blood cells, can cause anaemia. Iron deficiency is one cause of anaemia, as it directly affects the ability to produce haem molecules, but there are several other causes of anaemia.halassaemia is caused when the production of haemoglobin chains is impaired, the most common forms affecting the alpha globin chain (alpha Thalassaemia) or the beta globin chain (beta Thalassaemia). The chains themselves can be normal, but the amounts produced are not; sometimes the genes can even be missing.
