Abstract
Background: Hemoglobin G-Siriraj is a rare hemoglobin variant caused by a β-globin gene mutation (HBB: c.22G>A). The focus of this paper is aimed mainly at the chromatographic and electrophoretic properties of hemoglobin G-Siriraj for a presumptive identification. Notably, this is the first documented case of hemoglobin G-Siriraj in Morocco.
Methods: This hemoglobin variant was discovered in a 44-year-old Moroccan patient while measuring HbA1c with high-performance liquid chromatography. The discrepancies between capillary electrophoresis and the acid agarose electrophoresis led to suspicion of heterozygous hemoglobin G-Siriraj. Only the globin gene analysis can identify definitively this rare hemoglobin variant.
Conclusions: Rare hemoglobin variants represent a diagnostic challenge. Contextualizing cytological and biochemical explorations based on clinical data is essential for effectively guiding diagnosis.
