title: Clinical phenotype of haemoglobin Q-H disease.
abstract: Seven patients of Chinese origin who had haemoglobin (Hb) Q-H disease were studied. They were found to have a similar clinical phenotype to that of patients with deletional Hb H disease, who have a near identical genotypic configuration. The complete absence of Hb A in Hb Q-H disease and the similar clinical phenotype to deletional Hb H disease lends support to the observation that Hb Q-Thailand shares similar functional properties with Hb A.
