Summary
This paper presents the results of a survey of hemoglobinopathies in 1137 persons in Hubei Province. Among them 4 cases of abnormal hemoglobin were found and the frequence was 3.52% According to the clinical and laboratory data and especially the structural analysis of the hemoglobin variant, 3 cases were proved to be HbE, HbGTaibei and HbGCoushatta respectively. In the family with HbGCoushatta 2 members were found to be homozygotes. HbGCoushatta and HbGTaibei are described in detail in this report.
