Hb Yakima	beta99(G1)Asp->His

CONTACT		Internal; alpha1beta2 contact
HEMATOLOGY		Erythrocytosis in the heterozygote (PCV 0.45-0.55 l/l)
ELECTROPHORESIS		Hb X and Hb A separate at alkaline pH; Hb X moves like Hb F; Hb X moves between Hb A and Hb S, closer to Hb S, at acidic pH
CHROMATOGRAPHY		Hb X and Hb A were separated by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography
STRUCTURE STUDIES		Tryptic digestion; separation of peptides by cation exchange chromatography; amino acid analysis; carboxypeptidase A and B; leucine amino peptidase; sequencing
DNA ANALYSES		Not reported; presumed mutation GAT->CAT at codon 99
FUNCTION STUDIES		Increased oxygen affinity; decreased cooperativity; normal Bohr effect
STABILITY		Stable
OCCURRENCE		Found in three members of a Caucasian family
OTHER INFORMATION		Quantity in the heterozygote 38.5%; father, a heterozygote, developed acute nonlymphocytic leukemia following years of treatment with 32P
