The carriage rates of αααanti3.7, αααanti4.2, and HKαα in the population of Guangxi, China measured using a rapid detection qPCR system to determine CNV in the α-globin gene cluster.

Further analysis showed that the individual carried the αααanti4.2. Our research group occasionally detected individuals with copy number variations of the α gene, including αααanti3.7, αααanti4.2, and HKαα, but these...
