Hemoglobinopathy is a group of disorders passed down through families (inherited) in which there is abnormal production or structure of the hemoglobin molecule.
Such disorders include hemoglobin C disease, hemoglobin S-C disease, sickle cell anemia, and various types of thalassemia.

What else can I help you with?
Can you have both alpha thalassemia and beta thalassemia?
Of coare yes. You can get any hemoglobinopathy from a parent without any connection to other hemoglobinopathy (or any other hereditary disease) from the other parent. Prof. Kornfeld Pal

Can minor thalassemia carrier and alpha marry?
Yes, A "carrier" of alpha thalassemia and of beta thalassemia can marry, but not to someone with any hemoglobinopathy. Prof. Kornfeld Pal
Who is researching methemoglobinemia?
This is a congenital hemoglobinopathy where the hemoglobin has an increased affinity for oxygen, and therefore, it does not releases it to the tissues. The consequence is hypoxia, and clinically, the baby has a bluish to grey color. It is incompatible with life.
What is heredity hemoglobin defect characterized by abnormally shaped cells and anemia?
The most widely known is cycle cell anemia. If you want more information, look up hemoglobinopathy.

What are hemoglobinopathies?
There are two categories of hemoglobinopathy. In the first category, abnormal globin chains give rise to abnormal hemoglobin molecules. In the second category, normal hemoglobin chains are produced but in abnormal amounts.

What is a low reading of MCHC?
A low mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) could indicate conditions like iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, or hemoglobinopathy. It suggests that the red blood cells have a decreased amount of hemoglobin, which can impact their ability to carry oxygen efficiently. Further evaluation is needed to determine the underlying cause.
What causes hemoglobin levels of 3.1?
Hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body's tissues.As such, it is a reflection of the number of red blood cells in the blood.Normal values are between 14-18 g/dl for men and 12-16 g/dl for women.Common causes of decreased levels of hemoglobin include anemia, hyperthyroidism, cirrhosis, hemorrhage, dietary insufficiency, bone marrow failure, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple myeloma, malnutrition, leukemia, and hemoglobinopathy.
What is abnormal hemoglobin?
Abnormal hemoglobin is a lab result . First it is important to know what hemoglobin is, it is the stuff that fills your red blood cells. You will have to check with your doctor about the meanings of high hemoglobin or look it up online. But low hemoglobin generally signals a problem because there is not enough to fill the red blood cells. An abnormal hemoglobing test really doesnt tell me anything, you should also look at your bilirubin which tells how fast blood cells are being destroyed and the actual red blood celll count which may be labeled RBC or TBC for total blood cell count.
What is the synonym of the leukemia?
