Hb Atlanta-Coventry beta75(E19)Leu->Pro;
beta141(H19)Leu->0
         
NOTE: This interesting variant was misidentified and corrected late by the same group of investigators; the leucine residue at position beta141 is not deleted but (partially) oxidized to hydroxyleucine; the same phenomenon has been observed for other Hb Atlanta heterozygotes
