    The most common inherited monogenic disorders in the world are the haemoglobinopathies and thalassaemia. Thalassaemia is a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders of haemoglobin synthesis, characterised by a reduction in the production of one or more of the subunits of haemoglobin chains [1]. Haemoglobin A2 (HbA2) level is an important parameter in thalassaemia diagnosis. High HbA2 level (≥4.0) detected in Hb analysis, points to the diagnosis of beta thalassaemia and other haemoglobinopathies. However, in some cases, the HbA2 levels are apparently normal or borderline high despite abnormal haematological profile. In these cases, further testing is required to confirm the diagnosis. The aim of this study is to examine any abnormality at molecular level in cases of Hb analysis results with normal or borderline high HbA2 level.
