Alpha-thalassemia represents a group of clinical syndromes of varying severity characterized byhemolytic anemia and ineffective hematopoiesis. Genetic defects in any or all of 4-globin genes arecausative of these syndromes. The rate of mutations in the-thalassemia gene varies across ethnicgroups, and is highest in individuals from Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Mediterranean region.
Preconception (carrier) testing for alpha thalassemia in prospective parents may be consideredMEDICALLY NECESSARYwhen both parents have evidence of alpha tha lassemia (including alphathalassemia minor, hemoglobin H disease [alpha thalassemia intermedia], or alpha thalassemia major)based on biochemical testing. Biochemical testing consists of complete blood count (CBC), microscopicexamination of the peripheral smear, and Hgb electrophoresis.
Alpha thalassemia is a genetic disease, and the abnormal genes are passed along from parents to their children. A person become an alpha thalassemia silent carrier when they receive one of the genes from a parent.
