Abstract

During a survey of cord blood samples of healthy Chinese babies an Aγ variant was detected by its partial separation from normal Aγ in a high performance liquid chromatographic experiment. Structural analysis of the isolated Aγ chain identified a Val-Met substitution at position Aγ134; this substitution created a rather unique Met-Met sequence. The ratio of Aγ to Aγ was about 2 to 3; thus, Hb F with this variant Aγ chain appears to have approximately normal stability.
