ABSTRACT
Hemoglobin Q-India (α 64 Asp→His) is an important member of the hemoglobin Q family, molecularly characterized by the replacement of aspartic acid by histidine. The first case of Hb Q India was reported by Sukumaran in 1972 in a Sindhi family with associated β-halassemia.

Here, we are reporting two cases of Hb Q- India diagnosed during premarital thalassemia screening.
