A new α1-globin mutation, Hb Brugg [α20(B1)His→Gln]


Rizzi, M; Zurbriggen, K; Schmid, M; Goede, J S; Nardi, M A; Schmugge, M; Speer, O (2011). A new α1-globin mutation, Hb Brugg [α20(B1)His→Gln]. Hemoglobin, 35(4):417-422.

Abstract

A 2½-year-old male child and a 23-year-old woman with no clinical symptoms were investigated during routine consultations. Cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed an additional peak eluting before Hb A. DNA sequencing showed a novel heterozygous mutation at codon 20 of the α1-globin gene. The hemoglobin (Hb) variant was named Hb Brugg. Analysis of oxygen affinity Hb and Hb stability did not show any changes compared to normal Hb constellation.
