Abstract
Routine screening of blood samples from newborn babies or infants for hemoglobin (Hb) abnormalities often results in the discovery of (minor) abnormal Hb components which are difficult to characterize but are most frequently y chain variants. This was true for a 2-month-old Caucasian female; her red cell lysate exhibited a minor, fast-moving, variant when examined by alkaline electrophoresis. About 5 ml blood containing 500 mg Hb was available for further analysis.
