Background And Objective:
The aim of this work is the molecular description of a 4 new cases of the hemoglobin Fannin-Lubbock II, which presents the substitution of 2 amino acids in the same beta globin chain.
Patient And Method:
Four cases belonging to 3 families all of white race and from Spain are studied. The molecular analysis was done with the sequence of the products of amplification for polymerase chain reaction of the beta globin gene.
Results:
The molecular study demonstrated the mutation GTC -> CTC in the codon 111 that determines a change of valine for leucine and the mutation GGC -> GAC in the codon 119 that determines a change of glycine for aspartic acid, both in heterozygote state.
Conclusions:
Until the present time 17 hemoglobin variants have been described with 2 substitutions of amino acids in the beta globin chain. The hemoglobin Fannin-Lubbock II had been described in 5 Spanish families; therefore, the communication of these new cases suggests it could be a haemoglobin variant relatively frequent and circumscribed to our population.

Globular and Fibrous Proteins
Globular proteins are also known as spheroproteins and typically are approximately round in shape. They contain a mix of amino acid types and contain differing sequences in their primary structures. Globular proteins have many different functions, such as enzymes, cellular messengers, and molecular transporters. These roles often require the proteins to be...

History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...
