    Blood · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 9 - 12 days; if culture is needed, an additional 14-21 days may be required (additional culture fee may be applied)

    Method and collection
    Method
    Analysis of the alpha-globin (HBA) gene cluster is performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Alpha-globin variants included in the analysis are the Constant Spring non-deletion variant and the following deletions: -alpha3.7, -alpha4.2, --alpha20.5, --SEA, --FIL, --THAI, --MED, and the HS-40 regulatory region. Maternal cell contamination analysis (MCC): analysis of short tandem repeat markers by multiplex fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and capillary electrophoresis
    Collection
    Standard sterile techniques; transfer aseptically to sterile tubes. Amniotic fluid: discard first 2 mL of fluid aspirated to avoid maternal cell contamination.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
