Abstract

We report on five hemoglobin (Hb) β chain variants that were initially identified either by electrophoretic, chromatographic or isoelectric focusing (IEF) methods. These variants do not appear to be associated with clinical or hematological abnormalities. All variants were confirmed by DNA sequence analysis.
