Hemoglobin S-Oman

http://scdontology.h3abionet.org/ontology/SCDO_1000074


A form of hemoglobin caused by two mutations in a beta-globin chain, the classic beta S mutation (beta6 Glu> Val) and a beta121 Glu > Lys mutation identical to that of Hb-O Arab. The hemoglobin variant has reduced solubility and there is an apparent increase in red cell sickling tendency. It is reported to cause a rare dominant form of sickle cell disease, Sickle Cell Disease A/S-Oman.
