Abstract

Abstract


Hemoglobin A2 (HbA2) was quantitated in blood from 212 healthy Pakistani adults with an age range of 16 to 60 years. HbA2 level was observed in the range of 1.20 to 3.80% with mean ± SD as 2.67 ± 0.66% for both sexes. The mean level for males and females was 2.67 ± 0.66% and 2.66 ± 0.69% res­pectively. These values showed no significant difference (P > 0.1) among both sexes. The coefficient of variation (CV) was fairly high on a single sample within this range (i.e., 24.7% for combined sex; 24.62% for males and 25.93% for females). Other hematological parameters did not show significant variation within the groups. Predicted normal values of HbA2 will be of great help in assessing conditions with abnormal HbA2 levels
