  1. The table 2 presents the results in hemoglobin electrophoresis in the first column and the respective percentage of hemoglobin A (HbA), hemoglobin A2 (HbA2), hemoglobin AN1 (HbAN1), hemoglobin C (HbC), hemoglobin F (HbF), and hemoglobin S (HbS). For the iron deficiency and normal patients, data are expressed as median, first and third quartile
