A drug-induced haemolytic anaemia due to Hb Torino (alpha43(CD1)Phe replaced by Val). second finding in an Italian family. 1976

G Sansone, and G V Sciarratta, and A Lang, and P A Lorkin, and H Lehmann

The unstable haemoglobin, Tb Torino (alpha43(CD1)Phe replaced by Val), has been found for the second time in a family from the Treviso region of Italy. The haemoglobin has a slightly lower oxygen affinity than normal. In both cases, the abnormal haemoglobin is associated with inclusion body anaemia but the course of the disorder in the present case is much less severe than that previously reported. The oxygen affinity of the haemolysate has been measured and been found lower than normal.
