Introdução:As hemoglobinopatias estão entre as doenças genéticas de grande relevância no mundo. Aproximadamente 7% da população mundial apresenta algum tipo de hemoglobinopatia, e estimativas apontam que a cada ano nascem cerca de 300 a 400 mil crianças portadoras desses distúrbios. Objetivo: Descrever os diagnósticos prevalentes de hemoglobinopatias em gestantes submetidas ao Teste da Mãezinha na rede pública de saúde. Métodos: Estudo descritivo transversal com análise quantitativa dos dados. Foram avaliados 1.013 prontuários eletrônicos de gestantes vinculadas à rede de saúde pública do município de Pinhais, estado do Paraná, no período entre 25 de fevereiro de 2014 e 25 de fevereiro de 2015. Foram incluídos prontuários de gestantes do primeiro ao terceiro trimestre de gestação que realizaram o Teste da Mãezinha. Resultados: Verificou-se que 55,7% das gestantes realizaram o Teste da Mãezinha no 1º trimestre de gestação. Apenas 0,7% dos resultados do teste apresentaram traço de Hemoglobina C e 1,3% traço falciforme. Quanto a raça, nos resultados dos exames alterados (n=20), 50% eram brancos, 40% pardos e 10% negros. Dentre estas gestantes, 80% apresentaram intercorrências na gestação, sendo mais frequente a infecção do trato urinário (50%), leucorreias em geral (25%) e intercorrências durante o parto (12,5%). Conclusão: Neste estudo observou-se uma baixa prevalência de hemoglobinopatias. Recomenda-se a implantação do Teste da Mãezinha na rede de saúde pública brasileira para o diagnóstico precoce das hemoglobinopatias gestacionais.Palavras-chave: Doença da hemoglobina SC; traço falciforme; hemoglobina falciforme; anemia falciforme. Introduction:The hemoglobinopathies are among genetic diseases of great importance in the world. Approximately 7% of the global population have some kind of hemoglobinopathy, and estimates show that about 300,000 to 400,000 children affected by these disorders are born each year. Objective: To describe prevalent diagnoses of hemoglobinopathies in pregnant women submitted to the Mommy Test in the Brazilian public health network. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive study with quantitative analysis of the data. The sample included 1,013 electronic medical records of pregnant users of the public health network of the municipality of Pinhais, state of Paraná, Brazil, recorded between February 25 th , 2014 and February 25 th , 2015. Medical records of pregnant women undergoing up until the third quarter of pregnancy submitted to the Mommy Test were used. Results: It was observed that 55.7% of the pregnant women were submitted to the Mommy Test in their first quarter. Only 0.7% of the results of the test showed the Hemoglobin C trait, and 1.3% presented sickle cell trait. As for race, in the results that showed alterations (n=20), 50% of the women were white, 40% were brown, and 10% were black. Among these participants, 80% presented intercurrences during the pregnancy, the most frequent being urinary tract infection (50%), general leucorrhea (25%), and intercurrences during delivery (12.5...
