Abstract
Hemoglobin Atlanta, alpha 2 beta 2 75 Leu-Pro (E19), has been found in several members of three generations of a Caucasian family living in metropolitan Atlanta. The abnormal hemoglobin is one of the nine unstable variants in which either a leucyl or an alanyl residue is replaced by a prolyl residue. These substitutions have been observed in the B, E, F, and G helixes of the beta chain and in the H helix of the alpha-chain. Hemoglobin Atlanta heterozygotes are mildly affected by the presence of this unstable hemoglobin.Entities:
