Resumo

In a Canadian family of northern Irish origin, a new hemoglobin variant, hemoglobin Etobicoke, was observed. It differs from hemoglobin A by having a residue of arginine in place of serine in position 84 of the α-chain (helical notation F5). This hemoglobin is slightly less stable than hemoglobin A, but it does not cause an inclusion body anemia.
