Hemoglobin Titusville, a low oxygen affinity variant hemoglobin, in a family of Northern European background

AbstractWe report the second case of Hb Titusville in a family of Northern European background. This variant hemoglobin caused by an α‐globin gene mutation has decreased oxygen affinity. Correct diagnosis is clinically important to spare affected individuals extensive investigations into other causes of low oxygen saturation in peripheral blood. Am. J.
