Hb Queens alpha34(B15)Leu->Arg
         
ALSO KNOWN AS Ogi
CONTACT alpha1beta1 contact
HEMATOLOGY Normal in the heterozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS Hb X separates from Hb A as a slowly-moving variant at alkaline pH; it also separates from Hb A at acidic pH; moves between Hb S and Hb F on cellulose acetate and starch gel; moves between Hb A and Hb S on agar gel
CHROMATOGRAPHY Hb X was isolated on a DEAE-cellulose column
STRUCTURE STUDIES Tryptic digestion; separation of peptides by fingerprinting or reversed phase HPLC; amino acid analysis
DNA ANALYSES Not reported; presumed mutation CTG->CGG; alpha2 or alpha1
FUNCTIONAL STUDIES Slightly increased oxygen affinity; normal Bohr effect and cooperativity
STABILITY Mildly unstable
OCCURRENCE Found in Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai families
OTHER INFORMATION Quantity in heterozygotes 10-16%
