Hemoglobin Hofu associated with beta 0-thalassemia.

Abstract:

:A mild anemia (hemoglobin 9 g/dl) was found in a patient from Seville (Spain) with marked morphological abnormalities in the peripheral blood smear. The red cell osmotic fragility showed a mild resistance curve with a mean cell fragility (MCF) of 0.375% NaCl (normal = 0.450). Chemical Chemical and thermal instability test and search for inclusion bodies gave positive results. Hemoglobin electrophoresis at pH 8.9 revealed absence of Hb A, a major component of fast mobility (94%), and increased Hb F and Hb A2 levels (1.5% and 4.6%, respectively). The fast fraction, isolated and purified by means of cellulose acetate electrophoresis, precipitated in acid acetone and treated with urea 8 M and mercaptoethanol, revealed an anomalous beta chain. Trypsin-digested globin peptides were separated by high-voltage electrophoresis at pH 6.4 and ascendant chromatography. With differential staining, an extra peptide was detected in an unusual site, more anodic than alpha Tp4 but in lower position. Peptide map of the fast beta chain, stained with ninhydrin, and also for Tyr, confirmed the position of the new peptide and the absence of the usual beta Tp13. The new peptide, separated by high-voltage electrophoresis at pH 3.5, revealed absence of Val and the presence of an additional Glu residue, which should appear only in position beta 126. The diagnosis of Hb Hofu (alpha 2 beta 2 126 Val----Glu; H4) was reached, thus interpreting its increase and the absence of Hb A, as an association with beta o-thalassemia, producing a mild hemolytic anemia. Evidence was obtained that Hb Hofu is a mild unstable hemoglobin variant.
