Popis: An abnormal hemoglobin with increased oxygen affinity, Hb Malmo [α2β297(FG4)HisGln], was found to cause erythrocytosis in two apparently unrelated Swedish families. Direct nucleotide sequencing of amplified DNA demonstrated a CACCAA substitution in one family and a CACCAG substitution in the other. Both mutations resulted in a HisGln substitution in codon 97. This finding prompted us to examine the possible point mutations underlying the different hemoglobin variants reported in the literature. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
