Abstract
Almost 10 years ago we reported in this journal the characterization of Hb Hacettepe or α2β2127(H5)Gln → Glu. Unfortunately, we have to conclude that the original characterization of this Turkish variant was in error. The corrected data are presented in this short communication. The variant (α2β265(E9)Lys → Met) was (re)named Hb J-Antakya, after the city where the family resides. An abnormal Hb, observed in a Spanish family and named Hb Complutense, had the β127 Gln → Glu substitution, erroneously assigned to the Turkish variant.
