Spectrum of β-Thalassemia and Other Hemoglobinopathies in the Saurashtra Region of Gujarat, India: Analysis of a Large Population Screening Program

Hemoglobin, 2022
Hemoglobinopathies are common genetic disorders of the hemoglobin (Hb) molecule. Globally, 7.0% of the population are carriers of thalassemia with 300,000–400,000 affected births each year.

Hemoglobinopathies in pregnancy

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2004
Hemoglobinopathies represent a unique set of genetic disorders. Formerly, many affected individuals did not survive to childbearing age. Affected women now commonly reach childbearing age and desire pregnancy. Successful pregnancy is possible in many cases with carefully coordinated obstetric and medical management.

Hemoglobinopathies in Hungary

Hemoglobin, 1983
Hungary is a country in Central Europe where hemoglobinopathies were known to be rather rare. That is the reason why no survey was organized for studying the frequency of the occurrence of certain hemoglobinopathies in the Hungarian population. In spite of this, during our diagnostic work in the last fifteen years, several abnormal hemoglobin variants,

Hemoglobinopathy in India

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2015
Variations in hemoglobin structure as well as number of globin chains give rise to a wide spectrum of heritable disorders. As such, their detection is significant from epidemiological perspective, especially in India in which there is a large multi-cultural population with distinct geographic distribution.

Hemoglobinopathies in Israel

Hemoglobin, 1983
A survey of the various hemoglobinopathies in Israel is reported. The information was supplied from 13 hematology services throughout the country and from the Ministry of Health. The common hemoglobinopathies encountered were the thalassemias and sickle cell anemia. In addition, hemoglobin C and O Arab were found in isolated communities. Sporadic cases

Investigating the suitability of high-resolution mass spectrometry for newborn screening: identification of hemoglobinopathies and β-thalassemias in dried blood spots

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2020
A fast and reliable method for the determination of hemoglobinopathies and thalassemias by high-resolution accurate mass spectrometry (HRAM/MS) is presented. The established method was verified in a prospective clinical study (HRAM/MS vs.
