Also known as:

Comments: Found in a 7-year-old female with Hb 12.0 g/dL, RBC 4.79×10^12/L, MCV 76.4 fL, MCH 25.7 pg and MCHC 33.3 g/L. Capillary electrophoresis showed normal levels of HbA 97.3%, HbA2 2.7%. It was also detected in a 33-year-old female by MALDI-TOF MS (via the sufficient mass difference between the wild and variant globin chains) and in a girl with normal hematological parameters.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
