Hemoglobin D-Punjab is a common hemoglobin variant in India but very rare in Morocco. Often, its presence has minimal or no clinical impact. Its heterozygous association with β-thalassemia is exceptional. The purpose of the study is to describe the epidemiological, diagnostic and prophylactic aspects of hemoglobinosis D-Punjab from a family case study.
