Compromising for carrier detection of beta thalassemia based on measurement of HbA2 levels in unusual cases.

Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry - 9 Oct 2012

Colaco Stacy, Colah Roshan, Ghosh K, Nadkarni Anita

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: An increased HbA2 level is the hallmark for identification of β thalassemia carriers. However, in some carriers the level of HbA2 is not typically elevated creating difficulties in making a diagnosis. METHODS: We describe a family having an affected child referred to us for confirmation of diagnosis of β thalassemia. RESULTS: The father has a classical β thalassemia trait and the mother showed typical...
