Abstract
Hemoglobin Andrew-Minneapolis, an abnormal hemoglobin with an asparagine residue substituted for a lysine at position 144 of the beta-globulin chains, was identified in three members of two generations in a Japanese family. The carriers of hemoglobin Andrew-Minneapolis showed false high levels of hemoglobin A1c, as measured by the standard cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography, and a moderate tendency for erythrocytosis. This family is the first report of this abnormal hemoglobin in Japan.Keywords
