ABSTRACT
Introduction: Hemoglobinopathies are common genetic disorders resulting from qualitative (hemoglobinopathies) or quantitative (thalassemias) abnormalities affecting hemoglobin. The Hb S variant is of particular concern, as it causes severe sickle cell syndromes. Screening for these conditions is essential, especially in regions such as Morocco, where consanguinity increases the prevalence of genetic disorders.
