Comments: Unstable variant associated with severe hemolytic anemia in early childhood. It also exhibits slightly increased oxygen affinity. Although P50 values are uninformative, hemolysate exhibits a biphasic behavior at very low saturation values on the Hill plot, consistent with a high oxygen-affinity Hb exhibiting reduced cooperativity, and present in relatively small quantity [PMID: 2272836]. The insertion of a prolyl in the place of the leucyl residue at the β68 position (E12) in the middle of the Ε-helix disrupts the helix, thus affecting the tertiary structure of the β subunits. This position is next to the β67 (E11) valyl residue, which has an important hydrophobic contact with the heme moiety near the distal histine β63 (E7), thus the β68 Leu>Pro substitution may disturb the heme pocket.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
