title: Three new variants of the alpha1-globin gene without clinical or hematologic effects: Hb Hagerstown [alpha44(CE2)Pro-->Ala (alpha1)]; Hb Buffalo [alpha89(FG1)His-->Gln (alpha1)], a hemoglobin variant from Somalia and Yemen; Hb Wichita [alpha95(G2)Pro-->Gln (alpha1)]; and a second, unrelated, case of Hb Roubaix [alpha55(E4)Val-->Leu (alpha1)].
