title: HbF-Lesvos: an HbF variant due to a novel G gamma mutation (:G gamma 75 ATA-->ACA) detected in a Greek family.
abstract: A T-->C substitution at position 402 of the G gamma globin gene results in an isoleucine to threonine substitution at codon 75 of the G gamma globin chain and the formation of HbF-Lesvos [alpha2 G gamma2 75 (E19) Ile-->Thr].
