We report here the functional and structural characterization of Hb Acharnes [53(D4) Ala → Thr], an unstable and electrophoretically silent variant, that was found associated in trans with a  0 -thalassemic mutation (IVSI-1 G → A), in a patient with thalassemia intermedia syndrome. This case is di
Data on a 24-year-old Chinese male with Hb Q-Thailand-Hb H disease are presented. The hemoglobin variant was characterized by fast microprocedures, mainly by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Gene mapping analyses identified the a-thalassemia-2, which is associated with the a-Q c
