The significance of the hemoglobin A(2) value in screening for hemoglobinopathies.

Clinical biochemistry - 1 Dec 2009

Giambona Antonino, Passarello Cristina, Renda Disma, Maggio Aurelio

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The inherited hemoglobinopathies are a large group of disorders that include thalassemias and hemoglobin variants. Accurate determination of the carrier phenotype is essential for detecting couples at risk for producing offspring with hemoglobinopathy. Heterozygous beta-thalassemia is usually silent at the clinical level. His phenotype is characterized by microcytosis and hypochromia...
