Two New Hemoglobin Variants: Hb Tallahassee [α3(A1)Ser→Tyr; HBA2: c.11C\textgreaterA] and Hb Madison-NC [β119(GH2)Gly→Ser; HBB: c.358G\textgreaterA]. Kutlar, F., Unguru, Y., Natalia Dixon, Dixon, N., Patel, N., Bailey, L., Zhuang, L., Carmichael, H., & Kutlar, A. Hemoglobin, 38(3):207–210, May, 2014. MAG ID: 2055169979

AbstractOf the 1570 reported hemoglobin (Hb) variants detected to date, 390 are α2-globin chain (some variants have yet to be identified by DNA analyses and are therefore presumed) and 827 are the result of mutations of the β-globin chain. Due to their location on the Hb structure, only a minority of these variants result in a clinical phenotype; most are silent and are detected during routine surveillance, are found incidentally during other disease-related investigations or following newborn screening programs. In this report we discuss phenotype/genotype and molecular characteristics of two new Hb variants, both of which were clinically silent. One is an α2-globin chain variant located at codon 3 [α3(A1)Ser→Tyr; HBA2: c.11C\textgreaterA] named Hb Tallahassee and the other is a β-globin chain variant located at codon 119 [β119(GH2)Gly→Ser; HBB: c.358G\textgreaterA] called Hb Madison-NC.
