Abstract excerpt
Here we describe Hb F-Avellino [(G)γ41(C7)Phe → Leu; HBG2: c.124 T > C], a new hemoglobin (Hb) variant observed in a healthy newborn. The proband's hemolysate was found to be mildly unstable by the isopropanol test. The occurrence of the variant was assessed by both chromatographic and electrophoretic methods. DNA sequencing analysis of the (G)γ gene showed a T to C transition at codon 41 (TTC > CTC)...
