The deletional forms of the mutation are the most common forms found in alpha thalassaemia. The three most common deletional alpha thalassaemia found in this region include \u2010\u2010<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:sup>SEA<\/jats:sup><\/jats:styled-content> deletion, \u2010\u03b1<jats:sup>3.7<\/jats:sup> rightward and \u2010\u03b1<jats:sup>4.2<\/jats:sup> leftward deletions. The prevalence rate of triplication alpha cases such as \u03b1\u03b1\u03b1<jats:sup>anti3.7<\/jats:sup> and \u03b1\u03b1\u03b1<jats:sup>anti4.2<\/jats:sup> is not known in Malaysia although it plays a role in exacerbating the clinical phenotypes in beta thalassaemia carriers. Recently, there have been more reported cases of rare alpha thalassaemia mutations due to the advancement of molecular techniques involved in thalassaemia detections.
