Abstract excerpt
We studied the alpha-globin gene genotypes, hematologic values, and transfusion-dependence of patients with Hb H disease. Molecular characterization of alpha-thalassemia was performed. We identified 120 patients with Hb H disease. Of these patients, 35 (29.16%) had deletional form of Hb H disease, and 85 (70.83%) had different form of non-deletional Hb H disease. The most frequently observed Hb H genotypes were...
