Haemoglobin Presbyterian [beta 108 (G 10) Asn----Lys] in a Spanish family.

Clinical, haematological and biochemical aspects of a new family with heterozygous haemoglobin Presbyterian [beta 108 (G 10) Asn----Lys] are described. It could be readily separated by isoelectric focusing, DEAE-cellulose chromatography and by cation exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The characterization of this mildly unstable haemoglobin was made by reverse-phase HPLC. This is the fourth family with Hb Presbyterian so far described.

Haemoglobin LeporeBaltimore in a Spanish family.

Description of the clinical, haematological and biochemical aspects of a new family with heterozygous haemoglobin LeporeBaltimore. Of the 6 members affected. 4 were totally asymptomatic. All of them showed morphologic features of heterozygous beta-thalassaemia. The levels of haemoglobin Lepore ranged from 12.2 to 15% (mean value: 13.7 +/- 1.1%). The analysis of the primary structure of the haemoglobin shows that crossing over takes place between amino acid 50 of the delta-chain and amino acid 86 of the beta-chain. This is the third family, to our knowledge, with haemoglobin LeporeBaltimore so far described.

Intraerythrocytic adaptation to anaemia in thalassaemia.

Red cell 2.3-diphosphoglycerate (2.3-DPG) response to anaemia is evaluated in 83 patients with different types of heterozygous thalassaemias, and 40 patients with chronic ferropenic anaemia and 120 healthy subjects are used as control groups. In heterozygous beta, beta delta, and alpha thalassaemic patients the 2.3 DPG concentration is appropriate for the degree of anaemia present.
