DOI: 10.3324/haematol.2022.282667
Abstract: Although considered a mild clinical condition, many laboratory issues of the carrier state of beta-thalassaemia remain unresolved. Accurate laboratory screening of beta-thalassaemia traits is crucial for preventing the birth of a beta-thalassaemia major child. Identification… read more here.
