  2. Hemoglobin electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_electrophoresis

    The test uses the principles of gel electrophoresis to separate out the various types of hemoglobin and is a type of native gel electrophoresis.After the sample has been treated to release the hemoglobin from the red cells, it is introduced into a porous gel (usually made of agarose or cellulose acetate) and subjected to an electrical field, most commonly in an alkaline medium.

  3. Thalassemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalassemia

    β thalassemia major (Mediterranean anemia or Cooley anemia) is caused by a β o /β o genotype. No functional β chains are produced, and thus no hemoglobin A can be assembled. This is the most severe form of β-thalassemia. β thalassemia intermedia is caused by a β + /β o or β + /β + genotype. In this form, some hemoglobin A is produced.

  4. Hemoglobin A2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_A2

    Normal levels range from 2.1-3.2%, but in the beta-thalassemia disorder, the levels increase to 3.5-6.0%. Additionally, individuals with beta-thalassemia exhibit a high red cell count and low hemoglobin levels. [3] Individuals that express lower levels of hemoglobin A2, have the a 0-thalassemia trait or homozygous gene for a +-thalassemia. [2]

  5. Hemoglobin Barts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_Barts

    A newly developed diagnostic test, called Immunochromatography (IC) Strip Tests, uses monoclonal antibodies to detect Hemoglobin Barts in red blood cells' lysate. This diagnostic test is validated for positive and negative predictive values. It is also cheap and easy, making regular screening for alpha-thalassemia a plausible possibility. [9] [10]

  6. Alpha-thalassemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-thalassemia

    Alpha-thalassemia (α-thalassemia, α-thalassaemia) is a form of thalassemia involving the genes HBA1 [5] and HBA2. [6] Thalassemias are a group of inherited blood conditions which result in the impaired production of hemoglobin , the molecule that carries oxygen in the blood. [ 7 ]

  7. Hemoglobin H disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_H_disease

    Hemoglobin H disease, also called alpha-thalassemia intermedia, is a disease affecting hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying molecule within red blood cells. It is a form of Alpha-thalassemia which most commonly occurs due to deletion of 3 out of 4 of the α-globin genes.

  8. Hemoglobin E - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_E

    Hemoglobin E/β-thalassemia is a severe disease, and it still has no universal cure. However, the mutation is amenable to genome editing at high efficiency in preclinical studies. [ 6 ] It affects more than a million people in the world. [ 7 ]

  9. Red blood cell distribution width - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_blood_cell...

    Anemia in the presence of a normal RDW may suggest thalassemia. A low Mentzer Index, calculated from CBC data [MCV/RBC < 13], may suggest this disorder but a hemoglobin electrophoresis would be diagnostic. Anemia of chronic diseases show normal RDW.
