Hemoglobin Queens: alpha 34 (B15) Leu-Arg structural and functional properties and its association with Hb E.
Hemoglobin Queens: alpha 34 (B15) Leu-Arg was found in association with Hb E in a Vietnamese boy. The observed microcytosis and hypochromia were due to Hb E, which also occurred in other members of this family. The functional properties of Hb Queens in the absence and presence of allosteric effectors were normal. The abnormal hemoglobins appear to be unrelated to the hyperbilirubinemia that was observed at birth.
