We report the second case of Hb Titusville in a family of Northern European background. This variant hemoglobin caused by an alpha-globin gene mutation has decreased oxygen affinity. Correct diagnosis is clinically important to spare affected individuals extensive investigations into other causes of low oxygen saturation in peripheral blood. 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.Entities:
