Collection: Hemoglobinopathies

Hemoglobinopathies are inherited blood disorders caused by abnormalities in the structure or production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen. Common hemoglobinopathies include Sickle Cell Disease, Thalassemia, and Hemoglobin variants such as HbE and HbC. These conditions can lead to anemia, fatigue, delayed growth, infections, and organ complications. Early screening, accurate diagnosis, genetic counseling, and appropriate clinical management are essential to reduce disease severity and improve quality of life.
