[Hb Bart's Quantitative Analysis in the Screening of α-Thalassemia]
1Department of Clinical Laboratory Examination, Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Wuhan 430070, Hubei Province, China.
Objective:
To research the relationship between difference types of α-thalassemia gene types and Hb Bart's hemoglobin bands.
Methods:
Capillary electrophoresis was used to screen thalassemia gene for the newborn form January 2020 to December 2020, and the thalassemia gene was detected by PCR or PCR-NGS in the positive patients. The relationship between α-thalassemia gene and Hb Bart's hemoglobin was compared and analyzed statistically.
Results:
There were significant differences in Hb Bart's hemoglobin among the different α-thalassemia mutation types, Hb Bart's was the highest in --SEA/-α3.7 compound heterozygous mutation, then in --SEA/αα single heterozygous deletion type and in -α3.7/-α3.7,-α3.7/-α4.2compound heterozygous mutation, and in αqsα/αα, αcsα/αα single heterozygous point mutation, least in -α3.7/αα and -α4.2/αα single heterozygous deletion type. There were significant difference among the each groups.
Conclusion:
The Hb Bart's content of different genotypes of α-thalassemia are significantly different. The Hb Bart's content shows high application value in α-thalassemia screening and genotyping identification.
