Abstract
Unstable hemoglobin (Hb) variants represent a rare etiology of congenital hemolytic anemia. Correct diagnosis can be a challenge due to the relative rarity or lack of awareness of this disorder. We report an 18-month-old girl, who presented with a long-standing hemolytic anemia. Her diagnosis of unstable Hb Perth [β32(B14)Leu→Pro, HBB: c.98T > C] had not been made until gene sequencing of the β-globin gene was performed.
