Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) and deltabeta-thalassemia are heterogeneous disorders characterized by increased levels of Hb F in adult life.

This study investigated the hematologic and molecular characteristics of high HbF determinants in Thailand, and describes a...
