DETECTION OF Β THALASSEMIA CARRIERS BY RED CELL PARAMETERS OBTAINED FROM AUTOMATIC COUNTERS USING MATHEMATICAL FORMULAS
BACKGROUND and Objective: β thalassemia major is a severe disease with high morbidity. The world prevalence of carriers is around 1.5–7%. The aim of the present study was to find a reliable formula for detecting β thalassemia carriers using a large database of more than 22,000 samples obtained from...
