Abstract excerpt
Blood from seven newborns, a 13-y-old, and seven adult family members with a suspected hemoglobinopathy because of unexplained cyanosis was obtained for analysis to determine Hb oxygen affinity and to characterize and quantify the Hb variants. Their oxygen saturation was 76 to 84%. The P(50) was 30.3 +/- 2.9 for the newborns and 32.5 +/- 2.6 mm Hg for their related adults. In the same order, the plasma...
