Study on the phenotypic expression of hemoglobin (Hb) A(2) and Hb E in Hb E disorders has been difficult due to the co-separation of Hb A(2) and Hb E in most Hb analysis assays. Because these two Hbs are separated on capillary electrophoresis, we studied phenotypic expression of Hbs A(2), E and F in various Hb E disorders using this system. This was done on 362 subjects with several Hb E disorders including heterozygous Hb E. homozygous Hb E, beta-thalassemia/Hb E, delta beta-thalassemia/Hb E, and Hb Lepore/Hb E and those of these disorders with several forms of alpha-thalassemia. Normal controls showed Hb A(2) of 2.7 +/- 0.3%. Heterozygous Hb E and homozygous Hb E had elevated Hb A(2) i.e. 3.8 +/- 0.3% and 4.8 +/- 0.5%, respectively. Further elevations were observed for beta(0-)thalassemia/Hb E (6.1 +/- 1.9%) and beta(+)-thalassemia/Hb E (7.1 +/- 1.2%). Interestingly, no elevation of Hb A(2) was found in the delta beta-thalassemia/Hb E, and Hb Lepore/Hb E (2.3 +/- 0.3%) but higher Hb F levels were noted which could be useful diagnostic markers. The levels of Hb E were variable. Co-inheritance of these Hb E disorders with alpha-thalassemia were associated with lower outputs of Hb E and Hb F but the levels of Hb A(2) were not altered. Different phenotypic expression of Hb A(2), Hb E and Hb F could help in differential diagnosis of these Hb E related disorders commonly encountered in the regions where access to molecular techniques is limited.
