Abstract

Human hemoglobin of G-Makassar variant has been reported very rarely with Beta Thalassemia. In year 1969 Hb G-Makassar was first identified in Makassar, Sulawesi (Celebes), Republic of Indonesia. The disease was first published in 1969 and 33 years later it has been reported at a family of Thailand origin. We report a 45-year-old Malay man who was investigated for anemia and thrombocytopenia then diagnosed with Hb G-Makassar. This finding describes as a new Hemoglobin G-Makassar discovered in Malaysia after 14 years diagnosed in Thailand.
Keywords: hemoglobin G-Makassar; electrophoresis; beta thalassemia; DNA analysis; sickle cell disease hemoglobin G-Makassar; electrophoresis; beta thalassemia; DNA analysis; sickle cell disease
