They are having tendency to migrate anodally to hemoglobin A on alkaline gel electrophoresis. Because of the mutation in the globin genes, these hemoglobin variants have the fast moving nature.

It has previously been reported in various populations around the world. Here, we are reporting a case of Hb J meerut who came to laboratory for thalassemia screening.
