Is Hemoglobin D Trait Hematologically Silent: Comparison With Healthy Controls and β-thalassemia Carriers.

Abstract excerpt

Hemoglobin D-Los Angeles, a recessively inherited hemoglobin variant, has been introduced as hematologically silent in the heterozygous state. However, as its compound heterozygosity with other hemoglobinopathies may lead to a severe clinical phenotype, with hemoglobin S being the most serious, the detection of carriers is important. To clarify the hematologic picture, we assessed erythrocyte parameters in D...
