Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Both coinheritance of thalassemic δ-globin mutation and coexistence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) tend to decrease HbA2 (α2 δ2 ) level and thereby poses a diagnostic conundrum in β-thalassemia trait. METHODS: We retrospectively studied 78 Omani subjects, presenting with low HbA2 level by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and their DNA was sequenced for the presence of mutations in the...
