We defined the molecular basis and correlated the hematological phenotypes with the globin genotypes in 52 patients with Hb H disease and 29 patients with AEBart's disease of northeast Thailand. Among the former group, the most prevalent molecular defect was found to be the interaction of alpha-thalassemia 1 (SEA type) with the Hb Constant Spring (Hb CS; 35 of 52 patients), followed by the deletion of three...
