dc.description.abstractFetal haemoglobin consists of ?- and ?-chains. There are two types of human ?-chains: One,(G?) in which residue 136 is one of glycine, and another (A?), in which that position is occupied by a residue of alanine. Some time ago a homozygote for the high persistent fetal haemoglobin gene was found in Ghana whose sole red cell pigment was fetal haemoglobin. The nature of the fetal haemoglobin in this individual has now been determined. It is entirely of the G?-type. � 1974 by S. Karger AG, Basel. � 2015 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
