Also known as: Hb Gifu

Comments: Initially reported by protein analysis as an asparagine [AAC] to lysine [AAA or AAG] change at position β80, which is in the nonhelical EF section of the β-chain, in families of different origins. Later reported as a c.243C>G change by DNA analysis. Asp (neutral) to Lys (positive charge) substitution changes the charge of the Hb molecule. The electrophoretic mobility is similar to the other variant Hb of the D and G group. It can result in falsely low HbA1c concentration readings when using HPLC. It does not disturb the oxygenation/deoxygenation function, nor the stability of the Hb molecule. Its presence does not appear to cause any clinical or hematological abnormality; the Hb GSzuhu/β0-thalassemia condition apparently is more or less comparable to a simple β0-thalassemia. The same Hb variant is also described as Hb G Gifu in Japan.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
