  2. Hemoglobin C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_C

    Hemoglobin C (abbreviated as HbC) is an abnormal hemoglobin in which glutamic acid residue at the 6th position of the β-globin chain is replaced with a lysine residue due to a point mutation in the HBB gene. [1] People with one copy of the gene for hemoglobin C do not experience symptoms, but can pass the abnormal gene on to their children.

  3. Hemoglobin Barts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_Barts

    The ability to measure hemoglobin Barts makes it useful in newborn screening tests. If hemoglobin Barts is detected on a newborn screen, the patient is usually referred for further evaluation since detection of hemoglobin Barts can indicate either one alpha globin gene deletion, making the baby a silent alpha thalassemia carrier, two alpha ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newborn_screening

    Newborn screening programs initially used screening criteria based largely on criteria established by JMG Wilson and F. Jungner in 1968. [6] Although not specifically about newborn population screening programs, their publication, Principles and practice of screening for disease proposed ten criteria that screening programs should meet before being used as a public health measure.

    The following disorders are additional conditions that may be detected by screening. Many are listed as "secondary targets" by the 2005 ACMG report. [1] Some states are now screening for more than 50 congenital conditions. Many of these are rare and unfamiliar to pediatricians and other primary health care professionals. [1] Blood cell disorders

  7. Hemoglobinopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobinopathy

    The majority of hemoglobin variants do not cause disease and are most commonly discovered either incidentally or through newborn screening. Hb variants can usually be detected by protein-based assay methods such as electrophoresis , [ 15 ] isoelectric focusing , [ 16 ] or high-performance liquid chromatography . [ 17 ]

    Coombs - after birth, the newborn will have a direct Coombs test run to confirm antibodies attached to the infant's red blood cells. This test is run from cord blood. [5] In some cases, the direct Coombs will be negative but severe, even fatal HDN can occur. [15] An indirect Coombs needs to be run in cases of anti-C, [16] anti-c, [16] or anti-M ...

  9. Coombs test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coombs_test

    The indirect Coombs test is used to screen for antibodies in the preparation of blood for blood transfusion. The donor's and recipient's blood must be ABO and Rh D compatible. Donor blood for transfusion is also screened for infections in separate processes. [citation needed] Antibody screening
