Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin and β-Thalassemia in a Turkish Child

Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin and β-Thalassemia in a Turkish Child A Turkish boy with hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin-β-thalassemia combination is described. His Hb F was very much elevated and no Hb A could be shown in his hemolyzate. His Hb A<sub>2</sub> was low-normal, corresponding to the Negro counterpart. His father had β-thalassemia trait with elevated Hb A<sub>2</sub> and his mother was heterozygote for high persistence fetal hemoglobin with the Hb F and Hb A<sub>2</sub> values resembling reported Greek AF cases http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Haematologica Karger

Abstract

A Turkish boy with hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin-β-thalassemia combination is described. His Hb F was very much elevated and no Hb A could be shown in his hemolyzate. His Hb A<sub>2</sub> was low-normal, corresponding to the Negro counterpart. His father had β-thalassemia trait with elevated Hb A<sub>2</sub> and his mother was heterozygote for high persistence fetal hemoglobin with the Hb F and Hb A<sub>2</sub> values resembling reported Greek AF cases
