Identification of eleven human hemoglobin variants by high-performance liquid chromatography: additional data on functional properties and clinical expression.
Eleven abnormal hemoglobins were detected in the course of cord blood screening or in the evaluation of evident hematological problems in individual cases. Identification of the variant in each case was done by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC); HPLC provides a rapid, sensitive means for the examination of abnormal hemoglobins. Some of the 11 variants that were identified have been described repeatedly and are included to provide information on the HPLC behavior of tryptic peptides. Others are much rarer. Additional information is provided about the hematological and clinical expression as well as ethnic and geographical distribution of the abnormal hemoglobin.
