A rare beta-thalassemia associated with another hemoglobin anomaly characterized by the presence of the hemoglobin Lepore variant in association with beta-thalassemia. Clinical presentation is highly variable, depending on the type of beta-thalassemia, and ranges from severe hypochromic microcytic anemia and complete transfusion dependency to moderate, compensated anemia without a need for regular blood transfusions.
