A Kindred with a ß-Globin Base Substitution [ß89(F5)Ser?Arg (AGT>AGG); HBB: c.270T>G] Resulting in Hemoglobin Vanderbilt. Hemoglobin Shomali, W. n., Brar, R. n., Arekapudi, S. R., Gotlib, J. R. 2019: 1–4

Abstract

High oxygen affinity hemoglobins (Hbs), characterized by a decreased ability to release oxygen to the tissues and a left-shifted oxygen dissociation curve, are a rare cause of secondary erythrocytosis. Here, we report a base substitution in the ß-globin gene at codon 89 (AGT>AGG) in a kindred with familial erythrocytosis resulting in Hb Vanderbilt, a high oxygen affinity variant.
