Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine if a new haemoglobin (Hb) variant was the underlying cause of erythrocytosis in a subject with a high apparent HbA(1)c. DESIGN AND METHOD: Haemolysate was analysed by ESI MS, and individual components purified by ion exchange and reverse phase chromatography. Peptide mapping was used to pinpoint the substitution and DNA sequencing to confirm the precise mutation. Oxygen affinity was...
