The objective of this work is to explain the effect of the clinically silent hemoglobinopathy hemoglobin Wayne (Hb Wayne) variant on glycated hemoglobin A (HbA) assay. This variant can result in falsely high HbA values among euglycemic individuals without diabetes mellitus (DM). We discuss 3 patients who were diagnosed with type 2 DM based on spuriously high HbA values due to the presence of Hb Wayne.

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) can be unreliable (falsely elevated or lowered) in certain conditions, including hemoglobinopathies, anemia, lead poisoning, chronic alcoholism, and opioid use. Hemoglobin Wayne is a rare variant of hemoglobin (Hgb) that can also result in a false elevation of HbA1c. Hence, clinicians should be aware of these underlying causes before diagnosing and treating diabetes mellitus to avoid unexpected consequences.

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is an important tool for diagnosis and management of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, hemoglobin variants can interfere with laboratory assays and lead to inaccurate results. This study describes a patient who was found to have falsely elevated HbA1c values secondary to hemoglobin Wayne, a rare hemoglobin variant.
