Abstract

The current work focuses on two rare hemoglobin (Hb) variants - Hb Grange-Blanche and Hb Hofu - found for the first time in association with α-thalassemia in Eastern India. The unusual case of Hb Grange-Blanche and FS 41/42(-CTTT) mutations in cis throws light on importance of multiple mutations and its coinheritance with αααanti3.7 triplication indicates a possible cause for the clinical severity in β-thalassemia carriers.
