The Identification of Five Rare β-Chain Abnormal Hemoglobins by High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Procedures

Abstract
The detection, quantitation, and characterization of five relatively rare .beta. chain abnormal hemoglobins mainly by high performance liquid chromatographic procedures are described. The variants involved are Hb City of Hope (.beta.69 Gly .fwdarw. Ser), Hb Austin (.beta.40 Arg .fwdarw. Ser), Hb Leiden (.beta.6 or 7 Glu .fwdarw. 0), Hb Louisville (.beta.42 Phe .fwdarw. Leu), and Hb Presbyterian (.beta.108 Asn .fwdarw. Lys). Some clinical and hematological data are also included.
