HBB, LYS132ASN
A mutation where the lysine residue in position 132 in the primary sequence of a beta-chain produced by the HBB gene is replaced by asparagine. This mutation on its own produces Hb Yamagata which has reduced oxygen affinity, but no distinctive clinical abnormalities. However, when present in the same gene as the Hb S mutation (HBB, GLU6VAL), the sickling HbS-South End is produced.
