hemoglobin variants and blood transfusion complications
Hemoglobin variants are genetic mutations that result in abnormal forms of the protein found in red blood cells, which can affect the ability of the blood to transport oxygen. Blood transfusion complications may arise when a person with a hemoglobin variant receives a blood transfusion, as the mismatch between the variant and the transfused blood can lead to adverse reactions or ineffective treatment.
