Hb La Roche-sur-Yon	beta81(EF5)Leu->His
	(beta80 Asn is partially deaminated)


CONTACT		2,3-DPG pocket
HEMATOLOGY		Normal in the heterozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS		The presence of two abnormal Hb components were observed by IEF; one (15%) displayed a pI slightly above that of Hb A; the second (12%) focused with a lower pI than Hb F; globin chain electrophoresis in 6 M urea at pH 6.0 showed two abnormal beta chains and only one at pH 9.0
CHROMATOGRAPHY		Not reported; the beta^X and beta^A chains can be separated by reversed phase HPLC
STRUCTURE STUDIES		Tryptic digestion of AE-beta^X chain; peptides were separated by reversed phase HPLC; amino acid analysis; sequencing
DNA ANALYSES		Not reported; presumed mutation CTC->CAC at codon 81
FUNCTION STUDIES		Slightly increased oxygen affinity
STABILITY		Unstable
OCCURRENCE		Found in an 18-year-old female of Portuguese origin; appears to have arisen as a de novo mutation
OTHER INFORMATION		About 50% of the variant has the asparagine residue at position 80 deaminated
