Abstract

A description is given of clinical observations over a period of 25 years for a 26‐year‐old white male with a heterozygosity for the β‐chain variant, Hb Bicětre, in which β63His is replaced by Pro. The variant was identified through analysis of tryptic peptides from a digest of the βX‐chain isolated by PCMB precipitation and purified by chromatography. Similarity between the clinical histories of the first (French) heterozygote and our patient was most striking, including improvement after splenectomy.
