title: Hemoglobin Karatsu: beta 120 (GH 3) lysine leads to asparagine, an example of HB Riyadh in Japan.
abstract: Hemoglobin Karatsu was discovered in a Japanese male during a random survey of patients. Fingerprints of aminoethylated beta chain revealed an abnormal beta Tp12B-13 spot. Further chemical analyses and comparison with the corresponding tryptic peptide from Hb Hijiyama demonstrated an identical amino acid substitution with Hb Riyadh.
