Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemoglobinopathy is a genetic disorder that affects the structure or synthesis of the globin chains within the hemoglobin molecule. This can result in abnormal or decreased synthesis of globin chains, leading to conditions such as sickle cell anemia or thalassemias. Heme, porphyrin, and iron are all necessary components of hemoglobin but are not directly involved in hemoglobinopathies.
