Hb C-Ziquinchor	beta6(A3)Glu->Val;
	beta58(E2)Pro->Arg


HEMATOLOGY		Normal in the heterozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS		Hb X moves slightly slower than Hb A₂ at alkaline pH; the same is observed in IEF
CHROMATOGRAPHY		Hb X and Hb A can be separated by DEAE-cellulose or DEAE-Sephadex chromatography
STRUCTURE STUDIES		Tryptic digestion of AE-beta^X chain; separation of peptides by fingerprinting or cation exchange chromatography; amino acid analysis; sequencing
DNA ANALYSES		Not reported; presumed mutations GAG->GTG and CCT->CGT at codons 6 and 58
FUNCTION STUDIES		Normal; gelling properties of Hb X are also the same as Hb S
STABILITY		Tends to become autooxidized
OCCURRENCE		Found in members of an African family living in Senegal
OTHER INFORMATION		Quantity in the heterozygote 29-43%; the presence of an alpha-thal allele was not evaluated; the beta58 Pro->Arg mutation is also found in Hb Dhofar
