Comments: During antenatal screening, a sample with abnormal ce-HPLC findings and positive sickle solubility testing was analyzed by ESI-MS. Three variants were identified: Hb Stanleyville II (α78Asn>Lys), Hb S (β6Glu>Val), and a third β-chain variant showing a +14 Da mass shift. Tryptic digestion and low-energy CID localized the substitution to β54, consistent with either Val>Leu or Val>Ile. Subsequent hot electron capture dissociation (HECD) demonstrated the diagnostic z₆ -29 Da ion, confirming the substitution as β54Val>Ile (and not Leu). This was further validated using synthetic peptides. No DNA sequencing was performed; the nucleotide change was inferred from the confirmed amino acid substitution.
