Clinical Information
Some hemoglobin disorders can be very complex and involve abnormalities of the alpha, beta, delta, and gamma genes. These abnormalities can be due to, not only point variants, but also deletions within 1 or more globin genes.
Multiple genetic variants can be seen in the same patient, and molecular testing is necessary to fully evaluate such cases.
A summary interpretation that incorporates all the testing performed is beneficial to the ordering physician.
