Prevalence of 3.7 and 4.2 deletions in Sudanese patients with red cells hypochromia and microcytosis
Abstract Objective Alpha-thalassemia is a genetic disorder characterized by deletions of one or more α globin genes that result in deficient of α globin chains reducing haemoglobin concentration. The study aimed to screen 97 patients with microcytosis and hypochromasia for the 3.7 and 4.2 alpha thal...
