We report here a novel α1-globin chain variant, Hb Hubei [α114(GH2)Pro→His, HBA1: c.344C>A], in a Chinese individual. The proband, a 28-year-old Chinese female, was discovered following routine Hb A analysis using cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Sanger sequencing revealed a novel missense mutation, HBA1: c.344C>A (CCC>CAC), in exon 2 of the α1-globin gene. The mutation caused a transition of proline to histidine at position α114(GH2) on the α1-globin chain. This new variant was named Hb Hubei after the geographic origin of the proband.
