Hb Anamosa or alpha 2(111)(G18)Ala-->Val beta 2 (alpha 2 mutation) and Hb Mulhacen or alpha 2(123)(H6)Ala-->Ser beta 2 (alpha 1 mutation) are two silent, stable variants detected by sequencing of amplified DNA. 1995

We have identified silent amino acid substitutions in two alpha chain variants present in families from Iowa, USA, and Granada, Spain. Both involve an alanine residue in the core peptide, namely Ala-->Val at position 111 (codon change in the alpha 2 gene; GCC->GTC; Hb Anamosa) and Ala-->Ser at position 123 (codon change in the alpha 1 gene; GCC-->TCC; Hb Mulhacen). The two variants are stable. Sequencing of the amplified alpha 2- and alpha 1-globin genes greatly facilitated the characterization of the two variants.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
