Screening for thalassaemia in pregnant women: a laboratory perspective

Aim: To investigate whether in Malaysia, a mean corpuscular volume (MCV) less than 80 f1 and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) less than 27 pg will identify carriers in pregnant women with severe forms of thalassaemia, α-thal 1 (α°) and classical β (β°)- thalassaemia. The results from this study wi...
