Overview
Hemoglobinopathy is a kind of genetic defect that results in abnormal structure of one of the globin chains of the hemoglobin molecule. Most common hemoglobinopathies include sickle-cell disease.
Classification
Hemoglobinopathy be classified according to genetic and structure of hemoglobin into two main groups:
- Thalassemia syndromes
- α-thalassemia
- β-thalassemia
- Structural hemoglobin variants
- HbS
- HbE
- HbC
- Hb Bart’s
- Hb J(Johnstown)
- HbM
- HbX
- Hb D

Race
α-thalassemias
It occure cur mainly in Africa, Arab nations, and, more frequently and South-East Asia.
