Where does your hemoglobin come from?

← Sickle Cell Anemia
Your hemoglobin type is inherited through family genes. The color of your hair, the color of your eyes, and your hemoglobin type are all examples of things that are determined by genes. You receive one gene for hemoglobin type from your mother and one from your father. Hemoglobin A or normal adult hemoglobin is the most common type. There are over 500 different types or variations of hemoglobin.
