BACKGROUND: Hemoglobin (Hb) A(2) is artifactually elevated in cases of heterozygous Hb Hope when measured by capillary electrophoresis (CE). However, there is no report of HbA(2) levels and capillary electrophoregrams for associations of heterozygote of Hb Hope with α-thalassemia nor β-thalassemia. METHODS: Levels of HbA(0), HbA(2) and Hb Hope in 16 heterozygous Hb Hope, 3 Hb Hope/α-thalassemia-1 SEA type...
