Item Hb Q in India: An uncommon hemoglobin variant diagnosed in two patients â Case series.(2014-12) Bhimani, Rippalkumar; Rathod, Gunvanti B; Aggarwal, Sachin; Patel, Rushabh; Goyal, Rahul; Kuchhal, N KHemoglobin Q-India (α 64 Asp→His) is an important member of the hemoglobin Q family, molecularly characterized by the replacement of aspartic acid by histidine. The first case of Hb Q India was reported by Sukumaran in 1972 in a Sindhi family with associated β-halassemia. India is known as a country with a high prevalence of α - and β-thalassemia and different types of hemoglobinopathy. Many of these variants are yet to be identified. Here, we are reporting two cases of Hb Q- India diagnosed during premarital thalassemia screening.Item Rare Haemoglobin Variant Hb J Meerut in 27 Years Old Female - A Case Report.(2014-09) Rathod, Gunvanti; Aggarwal, Sachin; Goyal, Rahul; Patel, Rushabh; Bhimani, Rippal Kumar; Kuchhal, N KHemoglobin has plenty of variants and fast moving hemoglobins (FMH’s) are the rare hemoglobin variants. They are having tendency to migrate anodally to hemoglobin A on alkaline gel electrophoresis. Because of the mutation in the globin genes, these hemoglobin variants have the fast moving nature. The basic pathophysiology behind it is the substitution of a negatively charged amino acid residue in either α, β or γ globin chains. Hb J Meerut is an infrequently found α-globin variant. It has previously been reported in various populations around the world. Here, we are reporting a case of Hb J meerut who came to laboratory for thalassemia screening.
