An abnormal human hemoglobin was found in association with beta-thalassemia in a hemolysate from an 11-year-old healthy child living in Bologna (northern Italy). Structural studies demonstrated a previously unreported amino acid substitution, beta 61 (E5) Lys replaced by Met (this is an external residue). The new variant has been named Hb Bologna, and is characterized by a reduced oxygen affinity. Family studies indicated that the variant had been inherited from the father, a 41-year-old male of Southern Italian origin. Also, a brother of the propositus was found to be an abnormal Hb carrier.
在一名居住在博洛尼亚(意大利北部)的11岁健康儿童的溶血产物中,发现一种异常人类血红蛋白与β地中海贫血相关。结构研究显示存在一种此前未报道的氨基酸替代,即β61(E5)位的赖氨酸被甲硫氨酸取代(这是一个外部残基)。这种新变体被命名为Hb博洛尼亚,其特点是氧亲和力降低。家系研究表明该变体是从父亲那里遗传而来,父亲是一名41岁的男性,来自意大利南部。此外,先证者的一个兄弟被发现是异常血红蛋白携带者。
