Genetic and Clinical Characteristics of Thalassemia Trait and Construction of LASSO-Based Model for Its Differentiating From Iron Deficiency Anemia in Northern China. [PDF]

J Clin Lab Anal
This study revealed a β‐thalassemia‐trait‐dominated genetic spectrum in Northern‐Chinese patients with microcytic hypochromic anemia, with _αSEA/αα, HBB:c.316_197C>T and HBB:c.124_127delTTCT being the most prevalent α‐ and β‐globin genotypes. Using LASSO regression, we constructed a nomogram based on four routine complete‐blood‐count parameters (RBC ...
