Hb F-Veleta	Ggamma40(C6)Arg->Gly

ELECTROPHORESIS		Hb FX separates well from Hb A and Hb F; Hb X moves between Hb A and Hb F
IEF		Hb FX focuses between Hb A and Hb A1
CHROMATOGRAPHY		Hb FX elutes ahead of Hb F1 and Hb FO by cation exchange HPLC
CHAIN SEPARATION		AgammaT = 14.1%; GgammaX = 33.4%; Ggamma = 35.5%; Agamma = 17%
STRUCTURE STUDIES		Not reported
DNA ANALYSES		An AGG->GGG mutation at codon 40
NOTES		Found in a Spanish newborn, who was also heterozygous for the AgammaT chain; family studies indicated that both mutations occur on the same chromosome (Agamma*Ggamma*/AgammaT*GgammaX*)
