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.

- Thalassemia syndromes
- α-thalassemia
- β-thalassemia
- Structural hemoglobin variants
- HbS
- HbE
- HbC
