Also known as: Hb Ozieri

Comments: Initially reported as a silent Hb variant in five apparently unrelated newborn babies in Sardinia. It was detected by IEF and characterized by protein analysis as an Ala>Val change at position 71 of α-chain (α1 or α2). It was named Hb Ozieri. This substitution indicates a C to T transition in the GCG codon for Ala which contains one of the 35 unmethylated CpG dinucleotides of the α-globin gene. A later entry in a public database reports a cod71 GCG>GTG change in the α1 gene with the Hb variant named Hb Allison Park.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
