Abstract excerpt
We describe a new structural hemoglobin variant of (G)gamma with two amino acid replacements in cis found in the umbilical cord blood of a neonate in Madrid, Spain. The substitutions were identified on exon 2 of the (G)gamma globin gene, at codon 50 (T CT-->T GT) and at codon 75 (A TA-->A CA). We have named it Hb F-Madrid. The father of the propositus was the carrier of the same (G)gamma chain variant and,...
