Further characterization of Hb Henri Mondor or alpha 2 beta 2(26)(B8)Glu----Val

A second case of Hb Henri Mondor is reported. The subject, homozygous for Hb Henri Mondor, is of Algerian origin. The electrophoretical behavior and structural characterization are given and discussed. Hb Henri Mondor, which is characterized by the replacement of the lysine residue in position beta 26, as is the case for Hb E, has normal functional properties and is normally expressed.
