Abstract:
Research in India based on next generation sequencing (NGS) has been plentiful over the past few years. Significant progress in research both in benign and malignant haematology can be attributed to this technique. It has now progressed to both diagnostic and a theranostic modality in many areas of not only haematology but also other medical specialities. Papers presented at the annual conference of the Indian Society of Haematology and Blood Transfusion, ISHBT (Haematocon 2018) highlighted a snapshot of the research activities using NGS that are ongoing in various academic and other centres. This review summarizes the salient findings of the original research abstracts presented. The papers are divided into two broad subsections of non-malignant and malignant haematology.

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
