ABSTRACT
Cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography (CE HPLC) provides an excellent tool for accurate and reliable diagnosis of various hemoglobin (Hb) disorders. HbQ India is a rare alpha chain variant that usually presents in the heterozygous state. Its presence in double heterozygous state with HbD Punjab is extremely rare. The double heterozygosity for a and b chain variants leads to formation of abnormal heterodimer hybrids, which can lead to diagnostic dilemmas. We report two rare cases of double heterozygous HbQ India/HbD Punjab where the hybrid Hb was seen to elute at retention time similar to HbC on CE HPLC. The first case had unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia at presentation; while, the second case was asymptomatic.
