The abnormal hemoglobin (Hb) with an aspartic acid to asparagine substitution at α64 has been found on both the α2- and α1-globin genes. It has been described in many different populations under different names, but never in Bulgaria. Using the recently proposed nomenclature, Hb G-Waimanalo [A1] refers to the HBA1: c.193G > A, while Hb G-Waimanalo [A2] refers to the HBA2: c.193G > A mutation. Here, we present the first family from Bulgaria with Hb G-Waimanalo [A1].

Background: Definitive detection of hemoglobin (Hb) variants requires DNA sequencing. High-resolution melting (HRM) analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplicons was applied to detect and discriminate among uncommon α-Hb variants found in Thailand.
Methods: Uncommon suspected α-Hb variants observed in Hb typing were identified by sequencing of DNA from whole blood samples.

A clinically asymptomatic 12-year-old girl showed microcytosis in routine examination. Cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), revealed two additional peaks eluting after Hb A and DNA sequencing uncovered a novel heterozygous mutation at codon 64 of the α1-globin gene. The hemoglobin (Hb) variant was annotated as Hb G-Waimanalo [A1].
