Abstract excerpt
Red blood cell (RBC) indices, including mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), have been widely used for primary screening for thalassaemia (thal) syndromes. Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs855791 of TMPRSS6, an iron regulation gene involved in the substitution of a nucleotide between thymine (T) and cytosine (C) in exon 17 resulted in an amino acid change,...
