Hb Chandigarh	beta94(FG1)Asp->Gly

CONTACT		External
HEMATOLOGY		Normal Hb level but microcytosis and hypochromia in the proband who is compound heterozygous for Hb X and a betao-thal
ELECTROPHORESIS		Hb X moves slowly at alkaline pH with a mobility between Hb F and Hb S; excellent separation by IEF
CHROMATOGRAPHY		Hb X did not separate from Hb A2 by cation exchange HPLC; CM-cellulose chromatography separated the betaA, betaX, and alpha chains
STRUCTURE STUDIES		The betaX chain was digested with trypsin and the resulting soluble tryptic peptides were separated by reversed phase HPLC; amino acid analysis
DNA ANALYSES		Not reported; presumed mutation GAC->GGC at codon 94
FUNCTION STUDIES		Not reported
STABILITY		Not reported
OCCURRENCE		Found in a healthy Indian male
OTHER INFORMATION		The proband is the father of a thalassemic child
