Hemoglobin suresnes combined with α0-thalassemia: Diagnostic challenges and insights from trio-based whole exome sequencing [PDF]
Hemoglobin Suresnes (Hb Suresnes) is a rare hemoglobin variant caused by a substitution of arginine to histidine at position 141 (p.Arg142His) in the COOH terminus of the α-globin chain. This structural change alters the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin and
