Abstract

We present a new hemoglobin variant, Hb Raklev, characterized by the substitution of leucine with glutamine at position 75 in the β-globin chain. This variant was discovered inadvertently during an HbA1c evaluation using high performance liquid chromatography in a symptomless 54-year-old Caucasian woman, with the same variant also identified in her 16-year-old daughter. Purification of the hemoglobin revealed possibly diminished 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) sensitivity, which may result in heightened oxygen affinity. Notably, two variants have been previously documented at this location: the unstable Hb Atlanta and the high-affinity Hb Pasadena.
