Abstract

Although sickle cell disease is very common in certain Greek populations, the association of hemoglobin S with hemoglobin D, another beta chain variant, is considered extremely rare. We report a case of Hb S and Hb D co-inheritance, diagnosedin a 2 year old twin boy born after oocyte donation.
