Hemoglobin Disorders
摘要
Hemoglobin disorders are a group of genetic disorders that affect the structure and production of hemoglobin. They can be either quantitative, caused by mutations resulting in decreased production of globin chains, as in thalassemia, or qualitative, caused by gene mutations leading to structural abnormalities in the affected globin chains, as in sickle cell syndromes and hemoglobin C, E, and M disorders.
