Alpha thalassaemia due to non-deletional mutations on the -3.7 alpha globin fusion gene: Laboratory diagnosis and clinical importance

Alpha thalassaemia due to non-deletional mutations on the -3.7 alpha globin fusion gene: Laboratory diagnosis and clinical importance

Aims: Alpha (α) thalassaemia may be caused by large deletions of the α globin gene(s), or rarely, non-deletional mutations. Both types of mutations may co-exist, and if located on the same allele (α0), produce a reproductive risk of hydrops fetalis. We illustrate how clinical-laboratory correlation...
