Hb Matera (HBB: c.167 T > A): A Second Case Detected in a Pregnant Chinese Woman by the Capillary Electrophoresis Method.

Abstract excerpt

Hb Matera (HBB: c.167 T > A) is an unstable β-globin gene variant with an ATG > AAG substitution at codon 55. Its coelution with Hb A2 on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) makes it difficult to discriminate between Hb Matera and Hb E (HBB: c.79 G > A) that also coelutes with Hb A2 in this method. However, we found that capillary electrophoresis (CE) was able to detect Hb Matera and discriminate it...
