Rice (Oryza) hemoglobins [PDF]
F1000Research, 2014 Hemoglobins (Hbs) corresponding to non-symbiotic (nsHb) and truncated (tHb) Hbs have been identified in rice (Oryza). This review discusses the major findings from the current studies on rice Hbs. At the molecular level, a family of thenshbgenes, consisting ofhb1,hb2,hb3,hb4andhb5, and a single copy of thethbgene exist inOryza sativavar.

Hemoglobin F level in different hemoglobin variants [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Hematology, 2011 Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels in different hemoglobin variants in Osogbo, Nigeria, were estimated using two principal methods of estimation using existing information for HbF concentration and distribution of various hemoglobin variants in the area, as well as diagnosed cases of thalassemia. Two hundred and sixty samples collected from HbSS, HbSC, HbAA,

Hemoglobin E disease and glycosylated hemoglobin
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2015 Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) is a routinely measured parameter to monitor long-term glycemic control in people with diabetes mellitus. The presence of hemoglobin (Hb) variants can affect the accuracy of HbA1C methods. Hb E variant is the most common Hb variant in South-east Asia and North-east India.
