Hb Kokura alpha 2 47 (CE5) Asp----Gly beta 2 in a French Jewish family.
An abnormal hemoglobin was found in a young polycythemic man. Case study showed that the polycythemia was not due to hemoglobinopathy as the blood oxygen affinity was normal. Structural study of this variant permitted the characterization of a Hb Kokura alpha 2 47 (CE5) Asp----Gly beta 2 for the first time in France.
