A new Hb variant: Hb F Sardinia gamma75(E19) isoleucine leads to threonine found in a family with Hb G Philadelphia, beta-chain deficiency and a Lepore-like haemoglobin indistinguishable from Hb A2.

A 59-year-old man with beta-thalassaemia major is unusually well. He has no beta-chains in his haemoglobin but is heterozygous for the genes responsible for alphaA and for alphaG Philadelphia. In addition he is also heterozygous for the genes responsible for gammaF and a new gamma-chain, gamma75(E19) Ile-Thr, named gammaF Sardinia. It was not possible to isolate the mutant gamma-chain, but from the overall ratios of Ggamma-:Agamma-Chain and gamma75 Ile : gamma75 Thr, it could be inferred that the mutation had presumably occured in the Ggamma-chain. Some of the propositus' siblings have high levels of Hb A2, and it is suggested that they possibly carry a gene for Lepore chain with the deltabeta-crossover after residue delta126.

[Electrophoretic mobility of peripheral lymphocytes and Hodgkin's erythrocytes. Correlation with some clinical, hematological and immunological parameters of the disease].

In 32 patients with Hodgkin's disease the electrophoretic mobility of peripheral blood lymphocytes and, at the same time, some clinical, hematological, and immunological parameters of the disease were determined. The mean mobility of lymphocytes was normal; nevertheless, the lymphocytic mobility of 8/32 patients was significantly decreased. No correlation with clinical, hematological, and immunological parameters of the disease was detected. However, the functional deficiency of hodgkinian T lymphocytes seems to play a role in their abnormal electrophoretic behaviour. In 9 out of these 32 patients the electrophoretic mobility of peripheral erythrocytes was also determined. The average mobility was significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased. No correlation with clinical, hematological, and immunological parameters nor with electrophoretic mobility of lymphocytes was detected.
