Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the occurrence of variant hemoglobins in newborns from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, and analyze the distribution and correlation of newborns with sickle cell trait.
- Out of 35,858 newborn samples, 919 exhibited abnormal hemoglobin profiles, with sickle cell trait being the most common, particularly in specific municipalities like Terenos and Selvíria.
- Early newborn screening and laboratory tests proved crucial for identifying these conditions, which can help municipalities plan targeted health interventions and support for affected families.
