Among 11 offspring of two women heterozygous for both HPFH and the delta chain mutation Hb B2, five inherited the HPFH gene and six inherited the Hb B2 gene. In another kindred, a man inferred to be heterozygous for both HPFH and Hb C had six children; three offsprivg obtained the Hb C gene and three the HPFH gene. Similarly, a woman heterozygous for both Hb S and HPFH transmitted the Hb S gene to one of her two children and the HPFH gene to the other. Thus among 19 offspring, no crossovers between the HPFH locus or the Hb delta-beta locus were observed. These and earlier data are compatible with deletion of the Hb beta and delta loci as the primary event to explain the genetic origin of HPFH. Genetic considerations indicate that the finding of a single person with a hematologically normal phenotype...

Recently, the sequence of residues gamma134-137 of the gamma-chain of this subject was determined and found to contain some alanine at position gamma136. It is therefore of the Ggamma + Agamma type. A rapid technique for the isolation of gammaCB-3 (gamma134-146) peptides in human fetal haemoglobin for Ggamma:Agamma ratio determination is described.

On the other hand, the birthweight of the babies may be the cause of hazard at childbirth.
