Routine laboratories use a hemoglobin H (HbH) screen to detect alpha-thalassemia carriers of fatal hemoglobin Bart's hydrops fetalis. This test is laborious and has sensitivity concerns. A commercial zeta-globin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELI

The reticulocyte count reflects the erythropoietic activity of the bone marrow and is thus useful in both the approach to the diagnosis of anemia and in monitoring bone marrow response to therapy. Traditionally, reticulocyte quantitation relied upon

β-Thalassemia (thal) is a common inherited anemia caused by mutations that reduce or abolish expression of β-globin chains required for adult hemoglobin (Hb). Individuals who are heterozygotes for ...

Haemoglobin H (Hb H) disease is caused by deletion or inactivation of three alpha-globin genes, leaving only one intact and active alpha-globin gene. People with Hb H disease usually have moderate anaemia, but are generally thought to be asymptomatic

Homozygous (--SEA) alpha zero-thalassemia deletion, the cause of up to 80% of fetal hydrops in Southeast Asia, is encountered in many other countries. Heterozygous carrier rates of the deletion in Southeast Asian populations range from 4% to 14%. The

Purpose: Preparing bone marrow smears using non-anticoagulated bone marrow aspirate is a traditional practice but many laboratories now use anticoagulated aspirate samples in K-EDTA. There are no published studies comparing the effectiveness of these
