Abstract
Alpha thalassaemia is an autosomal recessive disorder, commonly caused by a deletion in the alpha-globin gene cluster encoded by the HBA1 and HBA2 genes on chromosome 16p13.3. Individuals with one or more deleted (or dysfunctional) alpha globin gens exhibit a wide spectrum of haematological and clinical phenotypes. MLPA is a copy number assay that detects common deletions associated with 90% of alpha thalassaemia cases.
