Increased Microerythrocyte Count in Homozygous α(+)-Thalassaemia Contributes to Protection against Severe Malarial Anaemia
BACKGROUND: The heritable haemoglobinopathy α(+)-thalassaemia is caused by the reduced synthesis of α-globin chains that form part of normal adult haemoglobin (Hb). Individuals homozygous for α(+)-thalassaemia have microcytosis and an increased erythrocyte count. α(+)-Thalassaemia homozygosity confe...
