Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: α-thalassemia is relatively prevalent in Yulin Region in southern China. In order to accurately detect α-globin gene aberrations for genetic counseling, the prevalence of HKαα (Hong Kong αα) allele in this subpopulation of silent deletional α-thalassemia were examined. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 1845 subjects were selected in Yulin Region from January 2021 to March 2021. Peripheral blood was...
