Hb J-Anatolia	alpha61(E10)Lys->Thr

CONTACT		External
HEMATOLOGY		Probably normal in the heterozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS		Hb X separates from Hb A at alkaline pH; starch gel showed a fast-moving band in the region of Hb J and a fast extra Hb A2 band
CHROMATOGRAPHY		Hb X can be separated from Hb A by anion exchange HPLC
STRUCTURE STUDIES		Tryptic peptides were isolated by reversed phase HPLC; the alphaXT-9 carried an extra threonine at the amino terminus; amino acid analysis; sequencing
DNA ANALYSES		Mutation in the alpha2 gene: AAG->ACG at codon 61
FUNCTIONAL STUDIES		Normal oxygen affinity
STABILITY		Normal
OCCURRENCE		Found in a Turkish woman
OTHER INFORMATION		Quantity in the heterozygote 27-28%
