Abstract:
Hb E-Saskatoon [beta22(B4)Glu-->Lys] does not cause any clinical symptoms in the heterozygous state. The homozygous state shows moderate phenotype expression. It has also been detected in association with beta-thalassemia. We present the first case of Hb E-Saskatoon associated with Hb Lepore-Baltimore. This unusual combination of mutations does not aggravate the clinical picture, as only microcytosis and hypochromia have been observed. Hb E-Saskatoon can only be correctly characterized by ion exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or by DNA sequencing.
