Abstract excerpt
The δ-globin gene defects are clinically silent but interaction with β-thalassemia can lead to a misdiagnosis of β-thalassemia carrier. We report an extensive molecular characterization of δ-hemoglobinopathies in Thailand. Study was done on 32,108 subjects, encountered at the thalassemia screening. Six different approaches based on the reduced Hb A2 or appearance of Hb A2-derivative were established for selective...
