Hb Complutense beta127(H5)Gln->Glu
         
CONTACT alpha1beta1 contact
HEMATOLOGY Mild anemia in the heterozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS No separation with standard techniques
CHROMATOGRAPHY No separation by cation and anion exchange HPLC; betaX separates from betaA by CM-cellulose chromatography
STRUCTURE STUDIES Tryptic digestion of betaX chain; separation of peptides by reversed phase HPLC; amino acid analysis; sequencing
DNA ANALYSES Not reported; presumed mutation CAG->GAG at codon 127
FUNCTION STUDIES Not reported
STABILITY Mildly unstable
OCCURRENCE Found in a few Spanish families
OTHER INFORMATION The Gln->Glu replacement at beta127 was first thought to be the abnormality in a Turkish family (Ref. 1); this erroneous characterization was corrected in 1986; the Turkish abnormality was renamed Hb J-Antakya with a beta65(E9)Lys->Met replacement (Ref. 2)
