The difference in electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S is due to a single amino acid substitution. In hemoglobin S, a glutamic acid is replaced by a valine at position 6 of the beta-globin chain. This change causes hemoglobin S to have a different charge, leading to its characteristic migration pattern on electrophoresis.
The blood test is called a hemoglobin electrophoresis test, which is used to determine an individual's hemoglobin genotype. A result of 'AA' indicates normal hemoglobin, 'AS' indicates sickle cell trait (carrier), and 'SS' indicates sickle cell disease.
For an infant, normal hemoglobin is 14-22 g/dL
Fetal hemoglobin (Hemoglobin F), Alkali-resistant hemoglobin, HBF (or Hb F), is the major hemoglobin component in the bloodstream of the fetus. After birth, it decreases rapidly until only traces are found in normal.

Normal levels of hemoglobin for neonates are 17 - 22 g/dl.
Normal levels of hemoglobin for adult females past menopause are 11.7 - 13.8 g/dl.
The normal hemoglobin level ranges from 12-18 grams per deciliter. Above normal hemoglobin levels may result in dehydration, excess production of rbc in bone marrow and other conditions.
Normal Hemoglobin levels in a Male is 13.8 to 17.2 gm/dL but this can vary based on various labs and what they consider to be the normal range.
For adult males the normal hemoglobin values are from 14-18 grams/deciliter. For adult females the normal hemoglobin values are from 12-16 grams/deciliter. I don't know how these values could be expressed as percents.
