Hb S/Hb Lepore with mild sickling symptoms: A hemoglobin variant with mostly δ-chain sequences ameliorates sickle-cell disease
✍ Fairbanks, V.F.; McCormick, D.J.; Kubik, K.S.; Rezuke, W.N.; Black, D.; Ochaney, 📂 Article 📅 1997 🏛 John Wiley and Sons 🌐 English ⚖ 24 KB

Three cases are reported of Hb S/Hb Lepore combination with very mild sickling manifestations. The presence of a non␣-chain variant with a high proportion of ␦ chain sequences, including 22 ala, appears to ameliorate sickle-cell disease. Efforts to increase the proportion of Hb A 2 may be beneficial
