ABSTRACT
Two siblings assumed on the basis of clinical and hematological evidence to have homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease were found to have a mother without sickle hemoglobin. Subsequent investigation and hemoglobin structural studies indicated the diagnosis to be sickle cell-Hb Lepore Boston syndrome. This syndrome generally manifests clinically significant sickle cell disease, and this genotype should be borne in mind in apparent SS disease where a parent without sickle hemoglobin is discovered.(AU)
