Abstract
PEPTIDE analyses of three varieties of hæmoglobin G have been reported, and each has been found to exhibit a different amino-acid substitution1–3; two of these involve the α-chain of the hæmoglobin half-molecule and the third involves the β-chain. Recently, the occurrence of another type of hæmoglobin G, found together with hæmoglobin A in a Negro woman and in five of her six children, was reported4. (At this time it is known that all six children have this variant.)
