Abstract excerpt

We present the characterization of the molecular spectrum and frequency data of alpha-thal (thal) defects in Tunisia, and an evaluation of the efficacy and limitations of Hb Bart's (gamma4) measurement for the screening of alpha-thal at birth. Cord blood samples were collected from two different areas: the northeast of the country, an area where Hb H (beta4) disease frequently occurs, and Tunis, the capital city,...
