title: Hb Luxembourg [alpha 24(B5) Tyr----His]: a new unstable variant.
abstract: Hb Luxembourg [alpha 24(B5)Tyr----His] was found in association with mild hemolytic anemia and increased indirect bilirubinemia in a family originating from the Netherlands. The slight instability of this variant may be the consequence of an indirect effect of the substitution on the alpha 1 beta 1 contact since position alpha 24 (B5) is internal and in contact with several residues involved in this interface.
