Asociación de hemoglobinopatía S y alfatalasemia. Análisis de 45 casos

An association between HbS and α-thalassemia was common (> 50%). Screening for this association is of great interest because the clinical expression in the cases of HbS homozigotewill be modulated. This association must be suspected in cases of homozygous HbS in which levels of HbS are lower than expected.
