Three new structural variants of fetal hemoglobin were detected in newborns during a neonatal screening for Hb S in the southeast of Brazil: Hb F-Campinas [AgammaI121 (GH4)Glu --> Gln], Hb F-Paulinia [Ggamma80(EF4)Asp -->Tyr] and Hb F-Joanopolis [Ggamma73(E17) Asp -->Ala]. These variants were not related to clinical abnormalities
