Comments: Hb Nicosia is a β-globin variant identified by peptide mapping and sequencing, revealing a β17 (A14) Lys>Gln substitution. This should not be confused with Hb Nikosia [PMID: 14282069], an α-globin variant characterized using protein-based methods and hybridization studies, for which no peptide or DNA analysis was performed to define the exact nucleotide change.
