Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Though an increase in Hb A2 is one of the most key markers of β-thal carriers, a few independent cases are reported to show elevated Hb A2 levels caused by mutations in other genes beyond β-globin gene. METHODS: We reviewed the haematological indices of 47336 individuals to analyse the phenotype-genotype correlation and identified 1439 individuals (3.04%) positive in the elevation of Hb A2 . Globin...
