Two fast-moving fetal hemoglobin variants were discovered in hematologically normal newborn babies; the first originated in the United Arab Emirates and the second in France. The structural study, carried out by miniaturized techniques of protein chemistry, showed that these two mutations affected the same residue of the G gamma chain, the lysine at position 59(E3) was replaced by glutamic acid in Hb F-Emirates, and by glutamine in Hb F-Sacromonte.

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.
