Hb Kansas beta102(G4)Asn->Thr
         
CONTACT Internal; heme and alpha1beta2 contacts
HEMATOLOGY Normal in the heterozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS Hb X and Hb A can be separated at alkaline pH; Hb X migrates slightly slower than Hb A (pH 8.4)
CHROMATOGRAPHY Hb X and Hb A can be separated by CM-cellulose chromatography; Hb X elutes after Hb A
STRUCTURE STUDIES Tryptic digestion; separation of peptides by fingerprinting; amino acid analysis
DNA ANALYSES Not reported; presumed mutation AAC->ACC at codon 102
FUNCTION STUDIES Decreased oxygen affinity and cooperativity; normal Bohr effect
STABILITY Increased dissociation
OCCURRENCE Found in a 14-year-old Caucasian male and his mother
OTHER INFORMATION Quantity in the heterozygote ~50%
