title: A silent hemoglobin variant: hemoglobin necker enfants-malades alpha 20 (B1) His leads to Tyr.
abstract: Hemoglobin Necker Enfants-Malades was fortuitously found during a systematic measurement of Hb AIc in a diabetic patient. It displays an electrophoretic pattern similar to that of Hb A but can be distinguished by isoelectricfocusing or cation exchange chromatography. Functional studies reveal no abnormal features.
