Also known as: Hb Harlow

Comments: The lysine residue at α99(G6) is in the central cavity of the haemoglobin tetramer, situated in the region of the α1β1 contact. The Lys>Asn substitution was reported to bind β globin normally but to disrupt AHSP binding, thus destabilizing α globin. Variant was not associated with any haematological disturbance. Reported in a French Caucasian person during HbA1c screening.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
