The authors describe a new variant of unstable hemoglobin: hemoglobin Bicêtre, responsible for a severe hemolytic anemia in a young girl. This hemoglobin is characterized by the replacement of distal histidine (beta63 (E7)) by a proline, causing the molecule to be very unstable and very readily oxidized.
