AbstractDespite the milder clinical severity of Hb H patients compared with those of Hb Bart’s hydrops fetalis or patients with β-thalassemia major (β-TM), a few cases of Hb H hydrops fetalis syndrome have been reported so far. Here, we describe, for the first time in the Chinese population, one case of a neonate with Hb H hydrops fetalis syndrome caused by the – –SEA (Southeast Asian) deletion in combination with the Hb Hirosaki (HBA2: c.132C\textgreaterG, p.Phe43Leu) mutation. Our study highlights the importance of continuous fetal monitoring using ultrasonography and blood screening studies of fetuses. Appropriate genetic counseling and comprehensive clinical follow-up should be performed on a pregnant woman who carried an α0-thalassemia (α0-thal) deletion and had a Hb H or Hb Bart’s hydrops fetalis offspring, especially if the woman’s partner also carried a hemoglobinopathy.
