Molecular lesion frequency of hemoglobin gene disorders in Taiwan.

Abstract excerpt

Hemoglobin (Hb) gene disorders are common inherited diseases in Taiwan. The α- and β-thalassemias are among the well-known Hb diseases in this area. We reviewed abnormal hematological data in 3578 cases, identified between 1998 and 2009, as being at-risk for α-thalassemia (α-thal) (n = 1909; 53.3%), β-thal (n = 743; 20.8%), non-α, β-thal (n = 872; 24.4%), and α-thal combined with β-thal (n = 54; 1.5%), and...
