AbstractAIM: Hypochromic microcytic anaemia is the hallmark phenotype of thalassaemia. Current phenotypic tests do not provide a diagnosis in a small proportion of patients with red cell microcytosis. We investigated the genetic basis of microcytosis in a cohort of such subjects. METHOD: We identified from a large cohort of 1684 unselected requests for thalassaemia testing 25 Chinese subjects who had unexplained microcytosis after phenotypic haemoglobin studies. Extensive genotypic analysis of the α and β globin gene cluster was performed in 20 of these subjects who had adequate DNA. Techniques employed included gap-polymerase chain reaction, amplification-refractory mutation system, Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent …
