Comments: Initially detected in a young male of southern Italian origin (Calabria) as an electrophoretically silent hemoglobin (Hb) variant using citrate agar electrophoresis and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. Separation of the abnormal α chains was achieved by CM-cellulose column chromatography. Identified as a His to Gln substitution at position 45 in the α-chain of Hb Bari, affecting a distal heme contact, by peptide mapping and amino acid analysis [PMID: 7378457]. Identified by sequencing analysis as a c.138C>G change in the HbA2 gene in an otherwise clinically healthy individual from north-eastern Spain (Zaragoza) [PMID: 38075166].

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
