Abstract:
Hemoglobin-J is a rare hemoglobin variant
known to be clinically silent most of the times, only to
be detected accidentally. Herein, the authors report a case
of Hemoglobin-J manifesting as unstable hemoglobin
detected during evaluation of hemolytic anemia in an
8 month-old-infant. Cation Exchange-High Performance
Liquid Chromatography(CE-HPLC) was used to identify
this variant after Hb electrophoresis was reported to be
normal.
