Descriptor hemoglobina fetal
Entry term(s) hemoglobina F
Scope note: El componente principal de la hemoglobina en el feto. Esta HEMOGLOBINA tiene dos subunidades polipeptídicas alfa y dos gamma en comparación con la hemoglobina normal del adulto, que tiene dos subunidades polipeptídicas alfa y dos beta. Las concentraciones de hemoglobina fetal pueden estar elevadas (por lo general por encima de 0,5 por ciento) en niños y adultos afectados de LEUCEMIA y diversos tipos de ANEMIA.
