In this video, we delve into the fascinating world of AlphaThalassemia, exploring its clinical syndromes and laboratory findings associated with alphathalassemia and common structural hemoglobin variants. We correlate clinical presentations with the number of alpha genes present and discuss the role of various diagnostic tests, including complete blood count, peripheral blood film review, supravital stain, and hemoglobin fraction quantification using advanced techniques like hemoglobin electrophoresis, highperformance liquid chromatography, and capillary zone electrophoresis.

Join us as we also shine a spotlight on molecular genetic testing, its significance in the diagnosis of thalassemia syndromes, and the vital role it plays in carrier screening for betathalassemia. Moreover, we shed light on the critical differentiation between betathalassemia minor and iron deficiency anemia, ensuring accurate treatment and avoiding unnecessary tests.
