Abstract excerpt
Hb Constant Spring (Hb CS; HBA2: c.427T>C) is often missed by routine laboratory testing as its mRNA as well as gene product are unstable and presented at a low level in peripheral blood. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of capillary electrophoresis (CE) for detecting and quantifying of Hb CS in β-thalassemia (β-thal) trait or Hb E (HBB: c.79G>A) trait samples with reduced β-globin chain expression....
