Frekuensi Trait Thalassemia-B Di Ujung Pandang, Sulawesi Selatan
South Sulawesi is the only region in Indonesia where a structurally abnormal hemoglobin, HbO is found. Yet, studies on hemoglobinopathies including thalassemia have been very limited. During the present study, genetic screening for il-thalassemia trait was carried out in Ujung Pandang population whi...
