TLDR
Hb A2 levels are elevated in patients with Hb S or Hb C, and are directly influenced by the alpha thalassemia genotypes.

Vertebrate and invertebrate respiratory proteins, lipoproteins and other body fluid proteins

TL;DR: This book focuses on respiratory proteins, the broad hemoglobin family, as well as the molluscan and arachnid hemocyanins (and their multifunctional roles) and a number of other proteins, such as the hemerythrins; serum albumin; serum amyloid A; von Willebrand factor and its interaction with factor VIII; and C-reactive protein.

The importance of hemoglobin A2 determination.

TL;DR: Level was influenced by the genotype of -Thal, and the diagnosis of doubleheterozygous states, such as S- Thal, should be carried out care-fully, taking into consideration the limitations of the available laboratory techniques.
