Abstract excerpt
We describe a new delta-globin variant, Hb A2-Pasteur-Tunis [delta59(E3)Lys-->Asn, AAG-->AAC]. This hemoglobin (Hb) displayed an electrophoretic mobility faster than normal Hb A2 and was expressed at 2.2 %. The molecular defect was characterized by DNA sequencing and confirmed by a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)-designed protocol. Hb A2-Pasteur-Tunis was found in a...
