Abstract excerpt

Haemoglobin (Hb) variants arising from mutations in globin chains can alter red blood cell (RBC) parameters. This may complicate the interpretation of pregnancy-related haematological changes, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where both anaemia in pregnancy and Hb variants are highly prevalent. The association between these variants and red cell parameters among Ghanaian pregnant women remains insufficiently...
