Compound heterozygous with Hb G-Taipei and Hb Lepore-Boston-Washington: An unexpected finding triggered by HbA1c measurement

Background: Hemoglobin A1c has been widely used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. However, the accuracy of HbA1c analysis can be significantly affected by hemoglobin variants, leading to falsely low or elevated levels and misdiagnosis or inappropriate diabetes management. Case report: In this study,...
