A black 25-year-old woman and her father have a fast-moving alpha chain variant in an amount of 8% (the father) and 18% (the daughter). Structural data indicate that this chain has been elongated by the addition of three amino-acid residues to give the sequence: -Pro(114)-Ala(115)-Glu(116)-Phe(117)-Thr(118)-Glu-Phe-Thr-Pro(119)-Ala(120)-. The underlying genetic alteration responsible for hemoglobin Grady appears, therefore, to be a tandem duplication of nine base pairs which may have arisen by a process of mismatched intragenic crossing over. Functional and physicochemical properties of the variant are not greatly altered, and hematological data are normal.
一名25岁的黑人女性及其父亲有一种快速移动的α链变体,含量分别为8%(父亲)和18%(女儿)。结构数据表明,该链因添加了三个氨基酸残基而延长,序列为:-脯氨酸(114)-丙氨酸(115)-谷氨酸(116)-苯丙氨酸(117)-苏氨酸(118)-谷氨酸-苯丙氨酸-苏氨酸-脯氨酸(119)-丙氨酸(120)-。因此,导致血红蛋白格雷迪的潜在基因改变似乎是九个碱基对的串联重复,这可能是由基因内错配交叉过程产生的。该变体的功能和物理化学性质没有太大改变,血液学数据正常。
