HPLC and Capillary Hb electrophoresis patterns of a neonate with α thalassaemia trait (--/αα) and a significant amount of Hb Bart's (γ4 tetramers). Hb Bart's in newborns with α thalassaemia disappears rapidly after birth. In newborns with Hb H disease, Hb Bart's will be substituted by HbH after birth. In Hb Bart's hydrops foetalis syndrome due to homozygosity of α0-thalassaemia only Hb Bart's is seen.
