Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: Hemoglobinopathies are a group of disorders of hemoglobin synthesis characterized by the absence or reduction of one or more of the globin chains of hemoglobin. Materials and Methods: This is an observational study conducted at the department of Pathology at MGM Hospital, Navi Mumbai. A total number of 72 samples were obtained and run on HPLC (BIORAD D10) over a period of 6 months from January 2016 – June 2016. Objectives: To evaluate the Sehgal index and compare it to the CBC based indices for best combination of sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of beta thalassemia trait.
