Hb Beograd (α2β2 121 (GH4) Glu → Val) Observed In A New Yugoslavian Family

Hb Beograd was first discovered in a Yugoslavian family (1) while the same variant, under the name of Hb D Camperdown, was found in a Yugoslavian woman living in Australia (2). Recently, Wilkinson et al (3,4) reported two more Yugoslavian families with this variant. The present report describes the same variant in a new Yugoslavian family. The methodology used in these studies followed procedures routinely in use in our laboratories (5).
