Epidemiological knowledge:
• Need to know the frequencies and prevalence in each country
• Need for micromapping in order to best locate services
• Need to know the rate of consanguinity
Need to estimate the expected annual• Need to estimate the expected annual affected births

B f iBefore screening
Do a survey or use existing data to know h t th l i d i twhat thalassaemia genes and variants
are found in your population and the ffrequency.Interactions of these genes may alter the g yhaematological expression/ lab findings – source of confusion and error.

M l l t diMolecular studiesTo finalise the diagnosis DNA studies are carriedTo finalise the diagnosis DNA studies are carried out in the following cases:
1. Individuals suspected for α-thalassaemia2. Couples suspected for H-disease3. Couples suspected for hydrops-foetalis4. Cases suspected for H-disease/β-thalassaemia5. Cases with borderline HbA2 levels, low indices
and when family studies are not available6. When the biosynthetic ratio indicates the
presence of any α or β thalassaemia mutation
