Abstract

This article provides information on the diagnosis of a rare hemoglobinopathy called Hemoglobin Boras in a Korean patient. Hemoglobinopathies are genetic disorders that affect hemoglobin, resulting in various symptoms. The patient in this case presented with anemia, jaundice, and an enlarged spleen. Laboratory tests, including hemoglobin electrophoresis and genetic testing, confirmed the diagnosis. The article highlights the importance of considering Hemoglobin Boras as a potential cause when observing unique hemoglobin electrophoresis patterns. Additionally, the document references several scientific articles related to the analysis and evaluation of different types of hemoglobin disorders, providing valuable information for researchers and healthcare professionals studying and treating these conditions.
