Hb regina or α2β296(FG3)LEU → VAL: A high oxygen affinity variant discovered by cation‐exchange HPLC

Abstract
Results are reported of studies of the hemoglobin from one member of a Canadian family with a mild erythrocytosis. This variant, which accounted for about 40% of the hemoglobin, could be separated from Hb A and Hb A2 by cation‐exchange chromatography. Micro methodology allowed the characterization of a Leu → Val replacement at position β96(FG3). Hb Regina has an increased oxygen affinity, which adequately explains the hematological observations.
