  • Title: [Clinicohematologic effects of hemoglobin Altdorf (alpha 2 beta 2 135 Ala replaced by Pro)].
    Author: Marti HR, Scherrer R, Piller M.
    Journal: Folia Haematol Int Mag Klin Morphol Blutforsch; 1980; 107(4):648-53. PubMed ID: 6162732.
    Abstract:
    Hb Altdorf alpha 2 beta 2 135 Ala leads to Pro is an unstable variant occurring near Lecce in Italy. The abnormal hemoglobin does not separate from Hb A in the electrophoresis. In vitro a marked Heinz body formation is produced with phenylhydrazin. In heterozygous individuals an almost compensated hemolysis and a slight splenomegaly are found. Hemolysis can be aggravated by exogenous factors. A rather severe hemolysis was induced by a viral infection in a 3 years old girl.
