Screening for Hemoglobinopathies: An Inceptive Experience of Centre of Excellence for Sickle Cell Disease.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of various hemoglobinopathies among newborns, women in antenatal clinic and children presenting with signs and symptoms suggestive of sickle cell disease (SCD).
Methods: A hospital-based prospective study was conducted at a Centre of Excellence for SCD (COESCD). Dried blood spot (DBS) samples were collected for newborn screening using heel-prick and venous samples were used in the post-neonatal age group. Hemoglobin variant analysis was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Results: Out of 26,642 neonates screened, 1.87% (n = 498) were found to have abnormal hemoglobin patterns. The prevalence of hemoglobin variants detected among women screened during antenatal check-up and children with signs and symptoms of SCD were found to be 6.11% and 22.69%, respectively.
Conclusion: Intensive screening programs have led to detection of a large number of cases with hemoglobinopathies including rare hemoglobin variants.
