Abstract excerpt
Hemoglobin (Hb) E and Hb Constant Spring (CS) are known to have thalassemia-like effects. Investigation on the red cell physical changes in these two abnormalities has been done to clarify the diversity of red cell changes between thalassemia and thalassemia-like abnormal hemoglobin (Hb E represents beta-thalassemia and Hb CS represents alpha-thalassemia). Eleven cases with homozygous Hb CS (CS/CS), 7 homozygous...
