“…By comparing the results with the genotype test, we found that the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of capillary electrophoresis detection of HE for thalassemia were 54.34%, 70.97% and 61.04%, respectively, with good agreement (Kappa=0.704), which indicates that capillary electrophoresis for HE can also be used as an early screening protocol for thalassemia. However, during capillary electrophoresis examination, there are many stray bands in addition to the desired HE band, and these stray bands can affect the electropherogram, even to the extent that the A 2 band is shifted (22). In this case, the bands need to be manually trimmed, and the influence of subjective consciousness and testing experience of human intervention is large.…”
