Abstract excerpt
Two unrelated cases of compound heterozygosity for Hb Hekinan [alpha27(B8)Glu-->Asp (alpha1) and alpha-thalassemia have been found in Thailand. Mutations were established at protein level by peptide mapping and at the DNA level by direct sequence analysis. Proband S.S. had genotype - -SEA/alpha2(A)alpha1Hekinan, betaA/betaE, while an unrelated proband, S.J., is the first case described with the genotype -...
