Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Jyothi BL and I will be answering your query.
Looking at the query, my opinion is as follows:
1. There is a 25% risk of transfer to the next generation.
2. I am unable to see the image. Only one image is attached. However, hemoglobin of 14.3 with High E+A2 is good.
3. You need to avoid anybody with a thalssemia profile, particularly Beta-thalassemia. Hb E thalassemia with Beta thalassemia is known to be very severe.
4. It should not cause any problem for you. In the present homozygous state, only mild anemia will be manifested.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.

Brief Answer:
Get hemoglobin electrophoresis for type.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking again.
Looking at the last report, I do not find any mention of HbE. Its HbF.
Elevated HbA2 indicates thalassemia. It could be Beta Thalassemia. However, get an hemoglobin electrophoresis done for the exact type of thalassemia.
Your hemoglobin is really high for the HbA2 without blood transfusion. Its possibly a mild variant.
Get an hemoglobin electrophoresis done.
Hope it helps
