To determine the molecular basis, genotype - phenotype relationship, and genetic origin of Hemoglobin (Hb) Hekinan associated with several forms of α-thalassemia and other hemoglobinopathies for a better understanding of its diverse clinical phenotypes. Seventeen participants with suspected abnormal Hb were studied. Hb analysis was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE).

A previously unreported β chain variant, Hb Belluno [β111(G13)Val→Gly;β133(H11)Val→Val (HBB: c.335T > G;402G > C)], was incidentally discovered in a woman suffering from diabetes, during glycated hemoglobin (Hb A1c) assay. Its presence was suspected because of a small abnormal peak with a retention time just shorter than that of normal Hb A1c.

The increasing availability of DNA sequencing of globin genes has improved our ability to detect conditions that were presumed to be extremely rare. These conditions may remain undiagnosed due to unfamiliarity with clinical presentation, relative unavailability of advanced diagnostic alternatives, or may defy detection by being electrophoretically silent or extreme instability rendering their presence to be below detection level. Genetic studies were pursued in a mother and daughter with severe hemolytic anemia as initial testing failed to be diagnostic.

We report the identification of a novel, slightly unstable hemoglobin (Hb) variant [β12(A9)Thr → Pro; HBB: c.37A > C] that came to our attention during Hb A1C ion exchange chromatography where it migrated as a trailing shoulder on the Hb A0 peak. On electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS), this electrophoretically silent variant was detected as an unresolved β component with a 2 Da decrease in average β chain mass.

A previously unreported β chain hemoglobin (Hb) variant, Hb Grove City [β38(C4)Thr→Ser, ACC>AGC; HBB: c.116C>G], was discovered in a woman who presented with hypoxia and mild anemia. Her young daughter also tested positive for the variant and displayed similar symptoms.
