Objective: To analyze the correlation between variants in the start codon of the α-globin gene and phenotypes of thalassemia, so as to provide a basis for the diagnosis and prevention of α-thalassemia.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 7 patients diagnosed by Yangjiang People's Hospital and Guangzhou Hybribio Co. Ltd.

In southern China, α-thalassemia is the most prevalent hereditary monogenic disorder, and deletion variants are the predominant form. Conventional thalassemia diagnosis techniques are numerous, however they are all limited in their ability to detect rare deletions. Here, we discuss a family who sought genetic counseling during their fourth pregnancy after experiencing Hb Bart's hydrops fetalis in two of their previous pregnancies.

Objective: To describe a novel α-thalassemiadeletion identified from a newborn by third-generation sequencing (TGS).
Case Report: The proband, a newborn subject to neonatal capillary electrophoresis (CE) screening, exhibited suspected α-thalassemia carrier status (Hb Bart's 3.0%).
