Abstract
THE haemoglobin defined in the title was isolated in the Blood Bank of Toulouse. The propositus was 39 years old, born in the south of France of Caucasian parents. He was in good health and a blood donor until a mild anaemia was discovered after an acute attack of gout. Haematological data were as follows: RBC 3.3 × 106 mm3, reticulocytosis 1.4 per cent, MCV 120 microns3, MCD 8 microns, haemoglobin 15.7 g/100 ml. Electrophoresis had shown a fast moving abnormal haemoglobin, and we undertook its study.
