Diagnosis and clinical relevance of co-inheritance of haemoglobin D-Punjab/β+-thalassemia traits in an immigrant Afghan family

We report on a Pashtun family affected by haemoglobin D-Punjab/β+-thalassemia to increase the awareness of the increasing prevalence of haemoglobinopathies among primary care physicians. We highlight the diagnostic approach of these conditions and the benefits of genetic counselling.
