Hemoglobin. 1981;5(6):565-70. doi: 10.3109/03630268108991687.

Abstract

During a survey of blood samples from newborn babies, a new fetal hemoglobin variant was observed which had a substitution of the normally occurring glutaminyl residue at position gamma 5 (A2) for a glycyl residue. The abnormal gamma chain had an isoleucyl residue at position 75 and a glycyl residue at position 136.
