Mutations that cause destabilization of the hemoglobin (Hb) tetramer are a rare cause of hemolytic anemia. In contrast to the hemolytic anemia caused by enzyme deficiencies, a dominant mode of inheritance characterizes the unstable Hbs. Hb Alesha [beta 67(E11) Val -> Met; HBB: c.202G> A] is caused by a G> A mutation at codon 67 of the beta-globin gene, resulting in a valine to methionine substitution at helix E11. This replacement disrupts the apolar bonds between valine and the heme group, producing an unstable Hb and severe hemolysis. We report this rare hemoglobinopathy in a Chinese girl with severe hemolytic anemia, splenomegaly and frequent requirement for red blood cell (RBC) transfusions.
