However, CBC alone cannot confirm alpha thalassemia. More specialised tests like the following are needed: Hemoglobin electrophoresis is often used to identify abnormal types of hemoglobin.

In Alpha Thalassemia there is a problem with the production of alpha globin chains, one of the two types of protein chains that make up hemoglobin. Alpha thalassemia has four subtypes, each ...

This type of thalassemia is caused by a mutation in the genes that control the production of the alpha globin protein chain, which is one of the two protein chains that make up hemoglobin.
