Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Alpha thalassemia syndromes are caused by mutations on one or more of the four α-globin genes. Mutations could be either more commonly deletional or non-deletional. As some deletions (3.7 and 4.2) cause α+-thalassemia, some cause (-20.5, MED, THAI, FIL) α0 -thalassemia. The aim of this study was to determine alpha thalassemia mutations in patients with unsolved hypochromic microcytic anemia and to...
