Hb M-Hyde Park beta92(F8)His->Tyr
         
ALSO KNOWN AS M-Akita
CONTACT Heme contact; proximal histidine
HEMATOLOGY Hereditary cyanosis (ferriHb) in the heterozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS Hb X and Hb A separate at alkaline pH; Hb X moves slightly ahead of Hb A2
CHROMATOGRAPHY Hb X and Hb A can be separated by anion exchange chromatography
STRUCTURE STUDIES Tryptic digestion of the AE-betaX chain; separation of peptides by cation exchange chromatography or by fingerprinting; amino acid analysis; sequencing
DNA ANALYSES Not reported; presumed mutation CAC->TAC at codon 92
FUNCTION STUDIES Normal oxygen affinity
STABILITY Unstable; dissociation into dimers
OCCURRENCE Found in a Black subject living in the USA, a Japanese family, members of a Yugoslavian family, a Caucasian female of Norwegian-German ancestry as a de novo mutation
OTHER INFORMATION Patients often misdiagnosed as having cyanotic heart disease; quantity in the heterozygote 23-32%
