Hb Stanleyville-II [α78(EF7)Asn→Lys (α2); HbA2: c.237C>A]: incidence of 1:11,500 in a newborn screening program in Brazil.

abstract：:Raised Hb F is occasionally found in stress erythropoiesis associated with hemolytic anemias. In hereditary spherocytosis (HS), elevation of Hb F by 2-5% may be seen but Hb F in the range of 10-20% has not been reported. We present an interesting case of a child, initially presenting with high Hb F, who showed a spont...
