ICSH recommendations for the measurement of Haemoglobin A<inf>2</inf>
Abstract
Although DNA analysis is needed for characterization of the mutations that cause β-thalassaemia, measurement of the Hb A 2 is essential for the routine identification of people who are carriers of β-thalassaemia. The methods of quantitating Hb A 2 are described together with pitfalls in undertaking these laboratory tests with particular emphasis on automated high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
