%X Reticulocyte (r) and red blood cell (RBC) indices provide reliable parameters for screening and monitoring iron deficiency anemia (IDA) patients and ¦Â-thalassemia trait (BTT) carriers. The aim of this study is to identify a simple method for use to distinguish ¦Â-thalassemia trait carriers from IDA and to evaluate the correlation between BTT genetic mutation and MCV values and new discrimination index for the detection of ¦Â-thalassemia trait (DI-BTT)
