Here we report the third observation (the second de novo) of unstable Hb Gun Hill or [beta91(F7)-95(FG2)Leu-His-Cys-Asp-Lys>0]. The two-year old male carrier showed low mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean hemoglobim concentration (MCHC), 8.5% fetal hemoglobin and about 30% variant hemoglobin. Mild hemolytic symptoms were detected seven years later. DNA sequencing and functional studies of mRNA and globin chains were performed.

Abstract

Here we report the third observation (the second de novo) of unstable Hb Gun Hill or [beta91(F7)-95(FG2)Leu-His-Cys-Asp-Lys>0]. The two-year old male carrier showed low mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean hemoglobim concentration (MCHC), 8.5% fetal hemoglobin and about 30% variant hemoglobin. Mild hemolytic symptoms were detected seven years later. DNA sequencing and functional studies of mRNA and globin chains were performed.
