Khalid Khan, Saiqa Zahoor.

Abstract
Objective: To find the pattern of hemoglobin disorders and variants in patients referred to selected diagnostic centers in Peshawar.
Methodology: This study was performed on patients referred for hemoglobin electrophoresis from June 2016 to June 2017 at Khalid laboratory and Rehman Medical Institute, Peshawar. A detail history, general physical examination and history of blood transfusion were recorded. Results: Out of 809 subjects, 326(40.30%) were found to have some form of Hemoglobin disorders. Out of the 326 cases, Thalassemia trait were found in 256(78.5%), HbE Trait 5(1.5%), HbE disease 3 (0.9%), HbD disease 1(0.3%), HbD trait 6 (1.8%), Sickle cell trait 4(1.3%), Sickle cell Beta thalassemia 6(1.8%), Sickle cell disease 5(1.5%), Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin 4(1.3%) and thalassemia major in 36(11.0%).
