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 structural of hemoglobin into two main groups:[1]

  • Thalassemia syndromes
    • α-thalassemia
    • β-thalassemia
  • structural hemoglobin variants
    • HbS
    • HbE
    • HbC
