Abstract
We describe for the first time retinal changes in sickle cell/hereditary persistence of fetal haemoglobin syndrome, which is a rare and benign disorder. The changes are qualitatively similar to retinal disease seen with sickle haemoglobin and sickle C haemoglobin, but are mild.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
