Abstract:
We report a novel hemoglobin (Hb) mutation [Hb Papanui [α99(G8)Lys→Arg; HBA2: c.299A>G] that was identified in an individual with an inappropriately low Hb A1c value of 2.8% when using an ion exchange method. Although occurring at a well conserved site, the conservative substitution was not associated with any adverse clinical features.
