| Description | SUMMARY: The authors explain 9 cases of Bart's Hb. and one case of Hb. Alexandra, identified on 3.556 blood samples from the umbilical-cord in human newborn in time. Electrophorectical and spectrophotometrical examinations showed that Bart's Hb. is identical to Hb. $H_{2}$ (the least fast of the two Hb. fractions present into the bearers of Hb. H). In 7 newborn infants, it has been possible with Bart's Hb. to reexamine them, some months after they were born; it was observed that the said haemoglobins had disappeared; at the same time, in 4 of those subjects, a clear microcytemic picture was noted while in 3 others, still very small, the microcytemic picture appeared still uncertain. In 8 families with newborn babies with Bart's Hb., the two parents were also examined, and in 7 of these families one of the two parents presented a microcytemic picture; in one of them the hematologic traits were normal in both parents, except a very hight alteration of the eritrocyte morphology in the mother. None of the examined parents presented any abnormal haemoglobin; furthermore, all microcytemic parents (except one) and all children with Bart's Hb. presented a normal rate of Hb. $A_{2}$. This fact, absolutely similar to that observed in the bearers of Hb. H and in their microcytemic relatives, allow to put forward the hypothesis that Bart's Hb. and Hb. H appear in the same families in which we find that special type of microcytemia without any increase of Hb. $A_{2}$, which would correspond to the microcytemia of the α chain. |
