title: Hb Beograd [beta121(GH4)Glu-->Val, GAA-->GTA] in the Turkish population.
abstract: Hb Beograd [beta121(GH4)Glu-->Val, GAA-->GTA] is a rare variant first reported in Yugoslavia and then in Turkey, Australia and New Zealand. We report two further unrelated cases from Turkey. The importance of identifying Hb Beograd at the molecular level, especially in regions where Hb D-Los Angeles [beta121(GH4)Glu-->Gln, GAA-->CAA] is prevalent, is emphasized.
