Multiple Alpha Chain Loci for Human Haemoglobins: Hb J-Buda and Hb G-Pest

IT is well established that at least two independent loci control the structure of human haemoglobin A 1,2 . Although the primary structure of the β-chain is determined by a single genetic locus, there are conflicting reports that the α-chain is controlled by one 3 or two 4,5 loci. We now describe g...

Zusammenfassung:	IT is well established that at least two independent loci control the structure of human haemoglobin A 1,2 . Although the primary structure of the β-chain is determined by a single genetic locus, there are conflicting reports that the α-chain is controlled by one 3 or two 4,5 loci. We now describe genetic and chemical studies of a Budapest family which possess two abnormal α-chain haemoglobins, Hb J-Buda and Hb G-Pest, and review evidence for multiple loci for the α-chain.
