Abstract
We report a novel hemoglobin (Hb) variant found in a 34-year-old Chinese male during a routine measurement of glycated hemoglobin. The variant resulted in a P3 peak of 27.5% of the total Hb on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a glycated hemoglobin mode. However, no abnormal Hb peaks were observed in capillary electrophoresis (CE) with 3.1% Hb A2 and 96.9% Hb A. The amino acid substitution was determined by Sanger sequencing as α20 (B1) His→Leu; the corresponding DNA mutation was identified as CAC > CTC at the first position of codon 20 of the α-chain. This is the first description of the mutation, and we have named it Hb Hebei for the region of origin of the proband.
期刊介绍:
Hemoglobin is a journal in the English language for the communication of research and information concerning hemoglobin in humans and other species. Hemoglobin publishes articles, reviews, points of view
The journal covers topics such as:
structure, function, genetics and evolution of hemoglobins
biochemical and biophysical properties of hemoglobin molecules
characterization of hemoglobin disorders (variants and thalassemias),
consequences and treatment of hemoglobin disorders
epidemiology and prevention of hemoglobin disorders (neo-natal and adult screening)
modulating factors
methodology used for diagnosis of hemoglobin disorders
