What is Hemoglobin A2 Estimation Test?

People have hemoglobin in their blood, which moves oxygen (air) around their bodies and makes their blood look red because hemoglobin helps them get oxygen. Every unborn baby makes a type of hemoglobin called Hemoglobin A2 even though they don't have any major adult hemoglobin from their parents. This type of hemoglobin doesn't matter what kind of major adult hemoglobin they have from their parents.

Haemoglobin A2 can help the lab identify some genetic mutations of hemoglobin. The level of A2 will rise or fall depending on the type of mutation passed down.

Why done? 

Having a hemoglobin A2 test is done to look for and determine if you have a hemoglobin disorder. The HBA2 gene tells you how to make a protein called alpha-globin. Alpha-globin is part of a bigger protein called hemoglobin.

People who don't have the HBA2 genes have alpha thalassemia, a blood disorder that stops the body from making enough hemoglobin. People with alpha thalassemia have lower hemoglobin, which stops enough oxygen from getting to the body's tissues. It can also cause pale skin, tiredness, and more serious problems in people who have it. Anemia is when there aren't enough red blood cells in the body.
