Single nucleotide variants found through exome sequencing of whole blood samples in severely anemic adolescent girls.

A total of 20 severely anaemic (Hb < 8 g/dL) individuals were selected out of the study population and their whole blood samples (EDTA tubes) were sequenced using whole exome (NGS) sequencing, following which SNVs in a total of 15 erythrocyte protein-coding genes were identified.
