29 Μαΐ 2023 · Hemoglobin C is caused due to mutation in the beta-globin chain in which glutamate (acidic) is replaced by lysine (basic) in the sixth position of the beta-globin chain. This mutation makes Hb C less soluble than Hb A, forming hexagonal crystals (HbC crystals as seen in the peripheral smear). Hemoglobin C is a hemoglobinopathy that is hereditary.

29 Μαΐ 2023 · Although hemoglobin C disease is a mild disease and does not develop into serious clinical complications, its inheritance with other hemoglobinopathies such as hemoglobin S (Hb SC) may have serious consequences. Thus, utmost care, treatment, and genetic counseling must be provided to these patients.
Homozygous hemoglobin C disease (Hb CC) manifests as a milder disease compared with SCD. Mild splenomegaly and hemolysis may be present. In addition, vasoocclusive crises do not occur. Heterozygous hemoglobin C trait (Hb AC) is asymptomatic.
