Hemoglobin (Hb) Q disorders are an important group of hemoglobinopathies. Several variations including Hb Q Thailand, Hb Q Iran and Hb Q India are documented. Here, the author performs a bioinformatic analysis to answer the question how the globins of several hemoglobin Q disorders are related to one another. Answering this question, the author performed a multiple sequence alignment phylogenetic tree to present the family tree of the hemoglobin Q recorded in the genomic database, ExPASY. These derived sequences from database were processed by ClustalW and subsequently used for preparation of distance matrix by Phylip protdist. The final generated phylogenetic tree of hemoglobin Q is presented in this article.
