Hb Volga was observed as a de novo mutation in a 5-year-old boy from Tuzla, Bosnia and Hercegovina, who exhibited severe Heinz body hemolytic anemia. The variant was detected and quantitated at 10.6% by a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedure. Structural characterization was done by HPLC analysis. An easier approach for the detection of Hb Volga by Ava II digestion of polymerase chain reaction-amplified DNA is described.
