Hb Redondo beta92(F8)His->Asn->Asp
         
ALSO KNOWN AS Isehara
CONTACT Heme contact; proximal histidine
HEMATOLOGY Chronic hemolytic anemia in the heterozygote; reticulocytosis
ELECTROPHORESIS Hb X and Hb A separate at alkaline pH and by IEF; one band (X-Asn) was close to Hb A2, and the second (X-Asp) was between Hb A2 and Hb F
CHROMATOGRAPHY Two betaX chains separate from betaA by CM-cellulose chromatography and by reversed phase HPLC
STRUCTURE STUDIES Tryptic digestion of the AE-betaX chain; separation of the peptides by reversed phase HPLC; amino acid analysis; sequencing
DNA ANALYSES A CAC->AAC mutation at codon 92
FUNCTION STUDIES Oxygen dissociation curves were performed on stripped lysate (pH 7.2) and showed a slight decrease of the P50 value and a decrease of n50 in relation to the biphasic shape of the curve
STABILITY Unstable
OCCURRENCE Found as a de novo mutation in a Portuguese male and a Japanese female and her daughter
OTHER INFORMATION No metHb formation; Hb X readily loses its heme group; quantity of the two compounds in the heterozygote not reported
