The First Report of a 290-bp Deletion in β-Globin Gene in the South of Iran
Background: β-thalassemia is one of the most widespread disease in the world, including Iran. In this study, we reported, for the first time, A 290-bp β-globin gene deletion in the south of Iran. Methods: Four individuals from three unrelated families with Arabic ethnic background were studied in Khuzestan Province. Red blood cell indices and hemoglobin analysis were carried out accor...
متن کاملHeterozygosis deficit of polymorphic markers linked to the β-globin gene cluster region in the Iranian population
Objective(s): Iran is considered as one of the high-prevalence areas for β-thalassemia with a rate of about 10% carrier frequency. Molecular diagnosis of the disease is performed both by direct sequencing and indirectly by the use of polymorphic markers present in the beta globin gene cluster. However, to date there is no reliable information on the application of the markers in the Iranian pop...
متن کاملβ-globin gene cluster haplotypes in iranian patients with β-thalassemia
introduction: β-globin gene cluster haplotypes are useful in diagnosis of particular molecular defects in β-thalassemia, prenatal diagnosis of β-thalassemia, and elucidating population affinities. methods: β-globin gene cluster haplotypes were studied in 150 β-thalassemia minor and 52 healthy in-dividuals from the fars province of iran. dna was extracted from leukocytes of whole blood by phe-no...
متن کاملDeletion of the -globin gene cluster as a cause of acquired -thalassemia in myelodysplastic syndrome
Rarely, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is complicated by an acquired form of -thalassemia ( -thalassemia in myelodysplastic syndrome [ATMDS]) characterized by hypochromic, microcytic, anisopoikilocytic red blood cells with hemoglobin H (HbH) inclusions. Acquired mutations in ATRX, a chromatin remodeling gene, have recently been found in 12 patients with typical features of ATMDS, though they ha...
متن کاملCo-inheritance of --MED double gene deletion and αααAnti3.7 triplication on α-globin gene in Mazandaran at 2016
Alpha Thalassemia is one of the most prevalent disorders worldwide with a [T1] high carrier rate in Mazandaran province (north of Iran). Carriers of --MED double gene deletion are at risk of having a child with hemoglobin haemoglobin[T2] H (HbH) disease, if they marry a silent carrier. Co-inheritance of αααAnti3.7 triplication that cannot be detected using hem...
