Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: β-thalassemia is a common monogenic disorder in India, yet early neonatal detection remains challenging due to high fetal hemoglobin levels. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of β-globin gene mutations in term neonates with HbA ≤15% and to identify an optimal HbA cutoff for screening. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study conducted from January 2020 to October 2021 at two tertiary hospitals in...
