 Hemoglobin is a protein responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to various tissues and organs.
HbA2 consists of two alpha globin chains and two delta globin chains. It makes up a small proportion of the total hemoglobin in the blood, typically ranging between 1.5% to 3.5% in healthy individuals. The HbA2 level can vary based on an individual's genetic background and certain medical conditions.
The measurement of HbA2 is primarily used in the diagnosis of certain hemoglobinopathies, specifically beta-thalassemia. Beta-thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder characterized by the reduced or absent production of beta globin chains, resulting in an imbalance of alpha and beta globin chains in hemoglobin molecules. An elevated level of HbA2 is a characteristic finding in individuals with beta-thalassemia trait or beta-thalassemia minor.
