Abstract
MANY cases of hæmoglobin L have been reported during the past few years in the province of Ferrara1–4. The classification of this abnormal hæmoglobin as hæmoglobin L has been determined by its electrophoretic characters and by its behaviour in chromatography4. Ever since the first observations, the presence has been reported in some carriers of a very slight hæmoglobinic fraction also, slower than hæmoglobin A2 (ref. 4), which could be interpreted as fraction , thus causing suspicion of the presence in hæmoglobin LFerrara of an alteration in the α-chain.
