چکیده
Heterozygous hemoglobin sickle cell disease (HbSC) is the second most frequent hemoglobinopathy behind SCA [1]. Individuals with HbSC are heterozygous having received the βC-gene for hemoglobin C from one parent and the βS-gene for hemoglobin S from the other parent [2,3]. HbSC red cells contain equal levels of HbS and HbC. The blood smears of individuals with HbSC contain primarily Target cells with few sickle cells [4].
