Abstract
A new haemoglobin, Haemoglobin Malay is described in a 22 year old Malay. Structural analysis showed a AAC----AGC mutation in codon 17, with the production of an abnormal beta chain (beta Malay) that has an Asn----Ser substitution at position beta 19. This haemoglobin variant could not be detected by conventional procedures.
