Hemoglobin A2 — Definition
Hemoglobin A2 / Hemoglobin A2
Hemoglobin A2 is a variant of hemoglobin consisting of two alpha and two delta globin chain (α2.2), forming about 23% of the adult hemoglobin. Normally there are low levels and is an important marker in the diagnosis of hemoglobinopathics such as talasemi. Especially when the level rises in the beta-talasemi carriers, iron deficiency may drop in cases such as anemia. Clinically evaluated by measuring hemoglobin electrophoresis or HPLC methods.
