Title: MCV
Post by: Manal on June 11, 2007, 09:35:44 AM

Hi

I want to make sure of the following:

You will always have a below normal MCV in all the following cases:
1- thal carrier/trait/minor (traditional mutation, not silent gene)
2- muted silent gene
3- muted delta gene that will mask the thal trait
4- Any Hb disorder like HB E, C, S....

Thanks

Manal
