German term or phrase: Haemoglobinopathie
must be some rare condition showing in blood tests, i.e. hemoglobin results
Anita Menhofer (X)
haemoglobinpathy (UK); hemoglobinpathy (US)
Explanation:
Not many hits for these terms, but then the German word gets none at all. So it's not a very common expression in either language. I believe this would be the right translation.

Hmm, spelling the word right in the first place would make searching for it a bit easier! It is of course haemoglobinOpathy!

My translation (with the correct spelling!) is confirmed by the Roche Lexikon Medizin. So it\'s haemoglobinopathy if this is a UK text, or hemoglobinopathy if it\'s a US text.

861 Yahoo hits for the British version of the word (when I spell it right!) So it definitely IS a common expression.
