Abstrakt: Objective: To analyze the genetic test results of 378 patients suspected of thalassemia. Methods: 378 suspected thalassemia patients in Shaoxing People's Hospital from 2014 to 2020 were selected and venous blood was tested using Gap-PCR and PCR-reversed dot blottin. The distribution of genotypes and other information of gene-positive patients was observed. Results: Thalassemia genes were detected in 222 cases, with an overall detection rate of 58.7%, of which 41.4% were α deletion type, 1.35% were α dot, 52.7% were α thalassemia, and 4.5% were αβ complex type. Among the 86 people with provincial household registration, the α-thalassemia gene accounted for 65.1% and the β-thalassemia gene accounted for 25.6%. Follow-up found that Shaoxing nationality accounted for 53.1% of positive patients, of which β-thalassemia gene accounted for 72.9% and α-thalassemia gene accounted for 25.4%; other cities in the province accounted for 8.1% of the total. Other provinces and cities accounted for 38.7%, most of which were from Guangxi and Guizhou. Among all positive patients, the most common α-thalassemia genotypes were --sea / αα, --α / αα,--α 3.7 4.2 / αα , --α3.7 / --sea. The most common mutations in β-thalassemia were IVS-II-654, CD41-42, CD17 and CD14-15. Conclusion: The thalassemia gene carrier status was sporadically distributed outside the traditional thalassemia high prevalence areas. The local population in Shaoxing has a high detection rate of thalassemia genes, and the genetic composition is different from the traditional high prevalence area of thalassemia in the south.
