Its inheritance is as a Mendelian dominant. Homozygous hemoglobin C produces a mild hemolytic anemia and an increase in target cells in the peripheral blood. Cases have been described by Spaet, Alway and Ward,9Ranney, Larsen and McCormack,6and Watson.10The trait for hemoglobin C produces no symptoms. All...Bibliography1.
