Molecular testing is not useful for evaluating the clinical severity of anemia; that is done using the patient's physical and clinical history, as well as evaluating various red cell parameters (e.g., hematocrit, hemoglobin, red cell morphology). However, it can be useful for the diagnosis of the cause of an inherited anemia (e.g., thalassemia), finding chromosomal translocations in malignancies, detecting inherited disorders, and identifying blood pathogens.
