2. Alpha-thalassemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-thalassemia

   Alpha-thalassemia (α-thalassemia, α-thalassaemia) is a form of thalassemia involving the genes HBA1 [5] and HBA2. [6] Thalassemias are a group of inherited blood conditions which result in the impaired production of hemoglobin, the molecule that carries oxygen in the blood. [7]

3. Hemoglobin electrophoresis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_electrophoresis

   Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a blood test that can detect different types of hemoglobin. The test can detect hemoglobin S, the form associated with sickle cell disease, as well as other abnormal types of hemoglobin, such as hemoglobin C. It can also be used to investigate thalassemias, which are disorders caused by defective hemoglobin production.

4. Thalassemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalassemia

   The severity of alpha and beta thalassemia depends on how many of the four genes for alpha globin or two genes for beta globin are faulty. [2] Diagnosis is typically by blood tests including a complete blood count, special hemoglobin tests, and genetic tests. [3] Diagnosis may occur before birth through prenatal testing. [8]

5. Hemoglobin H disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_H_disease

   Hemoglobin H disease, also called alpha-thalassemia intermedia, is a disease affecting hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying molecule within red blood cells. It is a form of Alpha-thalassemia which most commonly occurs due to deletion of 3 out of 4 of the α-globin genes. [1]

   Acute blood loss is usually associated with an incident of trauma or a severe injury resulting in a large loss of blood. It can also occur during or after a surgical procedure. [19] Alpha-thalassemia: D56.0: 448, 33334, 33678: Alpha-thalassemia (α-thalassemia) is a form of thalassemia involving the genes HBA1 [20] and HBA2. [21]

7. Hematology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematology

   Physicians specialized in hematology are known as hematologists or haematologists. [2] Their routine work mainly includes the care and treatment of patients with hematological diseases, although some may also work at the hematology laboratory viewing blood films and bone marrow slides under the microscope, interpreting various hematological test results and blood clotting test results.
