- Abstract
The article focuses on the false positive results of the Hb Bart's immunochromatographic strip test (AT-ICT) for alpha thalassaemia in individuals with delta-beta thalassaemia trait, as confirmed by genetic analysis of the alpha globin gene cluster. Topics include the clinical significance of alpha thalassaemia mutations, the introduction and advantages of the AT-ICT, and the identification of cases with discordant results, highlighting the need for genetic analysis in such instances.
