Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine the cause of an unusual hemoglobin (Hb) pattern detected during HbA(1)c monitoring. DESIGN AND METHOD: Hemolysate was analysed by ESI MS, and individual components purified by reverse phase HPLC. Peptide mapping was used to pinpoint the substitution and DNA sequencing to confirm the mutation. RESULTS: ESI MS of lysate showed three novel β chains with mass changes of -83, -51 and +222 Da....
