Hemoglobin-J is a rare hemoglobin variant known to be clinically silent most of the times, only to be detected accidentally. Herein, the authors report a case of Hemoglobin-J manifesting as unstable hemoglobin detected during evaluation of hemolytic anemia in an 8 month-old-infant. Cation Exchange-High Performance Liquid Chromatography(CE-HPLC) was used to identify this variant after Hb electrophoresis was reported to be normal.

D006448 Hemoglobin J A group of abnormal hemoglobins with similar electrophoretic characteristics. They have faster electrophoretic mobility and different amino acid substitutions in either the alpha or beta chains than normal adult hemoglobin. Some of the variants produce hematologic abnormalities, others result in no clinical disorders.
