Beta-thalassaemia and sickle cell anaemia as paradigms of hypercoagulability.
Thalassaemia and sickle cell disease (SCD) represent the most common forms of hereditary haemolytic anaemia and result from a partial or complete lack of synthesis of one of the major alpha- or beta-globin chains of haemoglobin A or from a single amino acid mutation (beta(6Glu-->Val)) of the beta-globin chain respectively. Although they have different pathophysiologies, patients with these cond...
متن کاملSickle-cell anaemia, sickle-cell thalassaemia, sickle-cell haemoglobin C disease, and asymptomatic haemoglobin C thalassaemia in one Ghanaian family.
A Ghanaian family is described in which a sickle-cell haemoglobin C man married to a sickle-cell thalassaemia woman produced 12 children (eight alive). Four children have sickle-cell anaemia, two sickle-cell haemoglobin C disease, one has sickle-cell thalassaemia, and one is asymptomatic haemoglobin C thalassaemia.It is emphasized that the contribution that adult sickle-cell disease patients ma...
متن کاملIncidence of Sickle Cell Anaemia and Thalassaemia in Central India
Haemoglobinopathies are group of diseases characterized by abnormalities both quantitative and qualitative in the synthesis of haemoglobin. Haemoglobinopathies consist of sickle cell anaemia (SCA), thalassaemia (β) and variant haemoglobins. In India, they are responsible for the largest number of genetic disorders and hence are of great public health hazardous. In India major concerned haemoglo...
متن کاملSickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell Anaemia
Sickle cell haemoglobin (HbS) results from an autosomal recessively inherited mutation in which the 17th nucleotide of the beta globin gene is changed from thymine to adenine and the amino acid glutamic acid is replaced by valine at position 6 in the beta globin chain. [1, 2]Sickle cells have a reduced deformability and are easily destroyed, causing occlusion of the microcirculation and a chron...
متن کاملStudies on the blood lipids and lipoproteins in thalassaemia and sickle cell anaemia.
In Cooley's anaemia the serum lipid fraction, determined by chemical analysis, was found to be decreased. The lipoprotein distribution by paper electrophoresis showed a characteristic pattern with abnormally low alpha(1) fraction and high concentrations of the beta fractions. There is no relationship between age and serum lipoprotein distribution. A correlation was found between the electrophor...
