Hb F-Meinohama or alpha 2 gamma 2 (5 Glu replaced by Gly; 75 Ile; 136 Gly). 1981

Y Ohta, and S Saito, and S Fujita, and J B Wilson, and H Lam, and T H Huisman

During a survey of blood samples from newborn babies, a new fetal hemoglobin variant was observed which had a substitution of the normally occurring glutaminyl residue at position gamma 5 (A2) for a glycyl residue. The abnormal gamma chain had an isoleucyl residue at position 75 and a glycyl residue at position 136.

D005319 Fetal Hemoglobin The major component of hemoglobin in the fetus. This HEMOGLOBIN has two alpha and two gamma polypeptide subunits in comparison to normal adult hemoglobin, which has two alpha and two beta polypeptide subunits. Fetal hemoglobin concentrations can be elevated (usually above 0.5%) in children and adults affected by LEUKEMIA and several types of ANEMIA. Hemoglobin F,Hemoglobin, Fetal
