- Context
This is the first Dataset for various thalassemia patients in Iraq. The Dataset contains the HLPC test information for 1073 patients with 12 features for each record that can be used to create a thalassemia Diagnosis system. Also, this Data was collected in 2022 from Hematology Center (Thalassemia) in Ibn Al-Baladi Hospital and can be analyzed using any programming language because it is provided in an excel file that can be accessed and manipulated easily.

1. ID: Patients Identifier
2. Gender: Patient sex (0 for Female and 1 for Male)
3. Age: Patient's age in years
4. MCV: Mean Corpuscular Volume with Normal Ranges 82.5 98 for adults.
5. HGB: Hemoglobin with Normal Ranges: (for Males 13.6 - 16.9, Females 11.9 - 14.8) Grams per deciliter.
6. MCH: Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin is the average amount of hemoglobin in the average red cell with Normal Ranges (27 – 32) picograms for adults
7. RBC: Red Blood Cell with Normal Ranges: (for Males 4.2 - 5.7, Females 3.8 - 5.0) 10^6/microliter.
8. S: Subunits of HLPC Test with Normal Range =0%.
9. HBA2: Subunits of HLPC Test with Normal Range (1-3) % for adults
10. HBA: Subunits of HLPC Test with Normal Range (> 97) % for adults
11. HBF: Subunits of HLPC Test with Normal Range (<1) % for adults
12. Iron: Iron in Blood cells with Normal Range (60 – 170) micrograms per deciliter
