Hb Miyada betadelta hybrid (beta through 12; delta from 22)
         
HEMATOLOGY Normal in the heterozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS Hb X moves like Hb A2 at alkaline pH
CHROMATOGRAPHY Hb X was isolated on a DEAE-Sephadex column
STRUCTURE STUDIES Tryptic digestion; separation of peptides by cation exchange chromatography; amino acid analysis
DNA ANALYSES Gene mapping has identified this betadelta hybrid to be located between a delta and a beta gene; the hybrid gene results from a non-homologous crossover between beta and delta genes
FUNCTION STUDIES Not reported
STABILITY Not reported
OCCURRENCE Found in a Japanese family and in a 24-year-old Italian male
OTHER INFORMATION Quantity in heterozygotes 17%; found in association with beta+-thal
