A New Hemoglobin Variant: Hb Dagestan α60(E9) Lys→glu

Abstract
An electrophoretically I-like Hb variant was detected during a survey for [human] abnormal Hb in Dagestan (USSR). Neither clinical nor hematological abnormalities were seen in the carrier for this mutant Hb. Structural studies demonstrated a previously undescribed substitution of .alpha.60 (E9) Lys .fwdarw. Glu.
