Disorders of Red Cells and Platelets

Hemoglobinopathies are common genetic disorders of haemoglobin. Identification of these disorders is immensely important epidemiologically and they can be prevented by population screening. The present study was carried out to evaluate the spectrum of hemoglobinopathies in the state of West Bengal by the cation-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (CE-HPLC). A retrospective, single-center, cross-sectional study was conducted on consecutive 10,407 participants. Out of 10,407 subjects, 8,898 (85.5 %) were diagnosed as normal, 579 (5.6 %) were as β-thalassemia trait (BTT) and 522 (5.0 %) were detected as HbE carrier on HPLC study. Apart from BTT and HbE carrier ten additional variants were encountered. The present study showed that CE-HPLC is a convenient, high-throughput, labour-saving and objective screening tool for early detection and management of hemoglobinopathies.
