Hemoglobin C in association with hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin
Abstract:
Hemoglobin C and hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) are an uncommon combination of hemoglobinopathies. Several tests are needed to verify this condition, among them hemoglobin electrophoresis and Kleihauer-Betke staining of a peripheral blood smear. Family studies are useful in delineating the genetics of the hemoglobinopathy but could not be performed in our case. In more confusing cases or with an unusual subtype, more extensive testing may be required. HPFH, by itself, is without clinical manifestations. It may be confused with other conditions; therefore, its presence in patients with hematologic symptoms requires more precise definition of the hemoglobin abnormality.
