Hb G-Siriraj beta7(A4)Glu->Lys
         
CONTACT External
HEMATOLOGY Normal in the heterozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS Hb X moves between Hb S and Hb F (Tris buffer) and between Hb A2 and Hb S (barbiturate buffer) on paper at alkaline pH; Hb X moves between Hb E and Hb S on starch gel at alkaline pH, and as Hb C on citrate agar at acidic pH
CHROMATOGRAPHY Hb X and Hb A can be separated by cation and anion exchange HPLC
STRUCTURE STUDIES Tryptic digestion; fingerprinting; amino acid analysis; carboxypeptidase B used to determine the C-terminal amino acid of peptide betaT-1
DNA ANALYSES Not reported; presumed mutation GAG->AAG at codon 7
FUNCTION STUDIES Not reported
STABILITY Not reported
OCCURRENCE Found in a few Thai and Chinese families
OTHER INFORMATION Quantity in heterozygotes 33-40%; the variant has been found in combination with beta-thal and in a homozygote (Ref. 3)
