Using a single tube multiplex real-time PCR with SYBR Green1 and high resolution melting (HRM) analysis in routine laboratory for detection of alpha-thalassemia-1 Southeast Asian (SEA) type deletion simultaneously with Thai type deletion is costly.
Criteria for laboratory testing of alpha-thalassemia-1 Thai type deletion were set as follow: (1) MCV < or = 75 fL and negative for alpha-thalassemia-1 SEA type deletion, beta-thalassemia or homozygous HbE; (2) HbE trait with HbE level < 21.5% and negative for a-thalassemia-1 SEA type deletion; or (3) Hb Bart's and HbH found on HPLC chromatogram but negative for alpha-thalassemia-1 SEA type deletion.
From May 2010 to October 2012, the number of samples to detect for alpha-thalassemia-1 Thai type deletion decreased from 15,081 to 672 samples and the alpha-thalassemia-1 Thai type deletion trait was found in 7 samples (1.04%).
The new testing algorithm can reduce number of samples for detection of alpha-thalassemia-1 Thai type deletion.
在常规实验室中,使用带有SYBR Green1的单管多重实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)和高分辨率熔解(HRM)分析来同时检测东南亚型α地中海贫血-1(SEA)缺失和泰国型缺失的成本很高。
泰国型α地中海贫血-1缺失的实验室检测标准如下:(1)平均红细胞体积(MCV)≤75飞升,且东南亚型α地中海贫血-1缺失、β地中海贫血或纯合子血红蛋白E(HbE)检测结果为阴性;(2)HbE特征且HbE水平<21.5%,且东南亚型α地中海贫血-1缺失检测结果为阴性;或(3)在高效液相色谱(HPLC)色谱图上发现Hb Bart's和HbH,但东南亚型α地中海贫血-1缺失检测结果为阴性。
2010年5月至2012年10月,检测泰国型α地中海贫血-1缺失的样本数量从15,081份降至672份,共发现7例(1.04%)泰国型α地中海贫血-1缺失特征。
新的检测算法可减少检测泰国型α地中海贫血-1缺失的样本数量。
