Thalassemia intermedia in HbH-CS disease with compound heterozygosity for β-thalassemia: challenges in hemoglobin analysis and clinical diagnosis
Co-inheritance of α-thalassemia with homozygosity or compound heterozygosity for β-thalassemia may ameliorate β-thalassemia major. A wide range of clinical phenotypes is produced depending on the number of α-thalassemia alleles (-α/αα --/αα, --/-α). The co-inheritance of β-thalassemia with α-thalass...
