Hemoglobin E Trait Genotype, beta / beta26Glu>Lys, AE Hemoglobin Genotype, Haemoglobin Genotype AE, AE Genotype
A genotype whereby one of the genes coding for hemoglobin subunit beta produces hemoglobin beta chains for normal adult hemoglobin and the other gene produces the abnormal hemoglobin beta chains of hemoglobin E, which involves a beta26 Glu>Lys mutation. Individuals with this genotype are known to be carriers of the hemoglobin E trait.
