Hemoglobin Ogi, in which an arginine is substituted for a leucine residue at position 34 of the alpha-chain, was detected in a Japanese family. Although slightly increased oxygen affinity is associated with this amino acid substitution in the alpha 1 beta 1 contact, it is without obvious deleterious effect on the hematological parameters of the individuals heterozygous for this variant.
