Abstract

Hemoglobin (Hb) Zurich-Albisrieden (ZA) {[}2 59(E8) Gly>Arg; HBA2:c.178G>C] is a rare and highly unstable -chain variant. A few simple and compound heterozygotes ((ZA)/ and -/(ZA), respectively) have been described so far in Switzerland and China. We describe here a case of homozygosity for the Hb ZA mutation ((ZA)/(ZA)) in a Brazilian child with severe congenital hemolytic anemia and ineffective erythropoiesis. (AU)
