摘要
Thalassemias are a group of inherited hematological disorders caused by defects in the synthesis of one or more of the hemoglobin (Hb) chains. The - and -thalassemias are widespread throughout the Mediterranean region, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia including Iran. In this study, we report five patients known to carry a coinheritance of Hb H (4) disease and -thalassemia (-thal) minor. There is a high prevalence of consanguineous marriages in our population and the high rate of thalassemia determinants can cause coinheritance of - and -thal. Therefore, it is of special interest to report coinheritance of Hb H disease and -thal minor which could lead to misdiagnosis.
