Thalassemia is a genetic disease, in which either the alpha- or the beta-globins are missing or mutated. The hemoglobin of the blood is a protein complex which in adults consists of 2 alpha- and 2 beta-globin subunits. The ratio of these proteins needs to be exactly right, if one of them isn't produced enough or even missing, this leads to non-functional ...

This is well documented in Advances in Microbial Physiology, Volume 16, Moseley and Williams, pages 116-117 (searchable via Google Books).
Mattern et al. (1966) designated mutations that made E. coli Bs-1 sensitive to X-ray radiation as exr (X-ray sensitivity) mutations. That same year, Howard-Flanders and Boyce (1966) independently designated equivalent ...

On Genecards it is mentioned that the GULO pseudo gene being expressed in humans in many major tissues. In that case the gene might be active although not encoding for a functional enzyme.
