Also known as:

Comments: Leu>Pro replacement at codon 109 is expected to alter the α1β1 contact, generating unstable α chains that undergo rapid proteolysis. No detection of abnormal haemoglobin by HPLC. Negative isopropanol stability test. Negative for HbH or Heinz inclusion bodies. Deduced as hyperunstable from low abundance. Pathogenicity predicted by in silico analysis. Reported as a heterozygote with mild microcytosis, and in association with an α-thal 3.7 kb (type I) deletion with marked microcythemia and mild anaemia.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
