Hemoglobin QIndia, alpha 64 (E13) Asp replaced by His, and beta-thalassemia in a Canadian family. 1976

R M Schmidt, and K C Bechtel, and W F Moo-Penn

Cellulose acetate electrophoresis at pH 8.4 showed a hemoglobin variant with the mobility of hemoglobin S in a Canadian family. Sequence analysis revealed that histidine was substituted for aspartic acid at position 64 in the alpha-chain. This variant was found in association with a beta-thalassemia trait condition.
