Coinheritance of α-thalassemia and hemoglobin E (Hb E) is prevalent in Thailand, where the gene frequencies of thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies are high. Hb E carriers with, concomitant inheritance of α-thalassemia 1 are known to have a lower level of Hb E. In this study, we reviewed the Hb E leve...
