Popis: | Autosomal dominant Beta Thalassemias are rare and are due to point or frame shift mutations resulting in production of abnormal unstable beta chains of hemoglobin which precipitate leading to hemolysis and anemia. We describe a case of Hemoglobin Hakkari, a rare variant of dominant Thalassemia arising due to a de novo mutation in the exon 2 of the beta globin gene. |
