| Usage: |
Newborn screening provides an opportunity for early detection of Sickle Cell Disease, some severe forms of Thalassemia, and many common variants (HbC, HbE, HbDPunjab, etc). In our country, Hemoglobinopathies are an important cause of genetic morbidity and mortality. It is essential that infants with these conditions are reliably diagnosed so that early treatment and necessary clinical follow-up are initiated. |
