Description
DNA analysis of the α-globin region (HBA1/HBA2, OMIM 141800/141850, 16pter-16p13.3) is performed by targeting 28 different sequences using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). This methodology detects genomic deletions and duplications involving this locus, including the seven most common types of α-Thalassemia deletions (α-3.7, α-4.2, SEA, MED, THAI, FIL, and α-(20.5)), as well the Constant Spring point mutation.
