Alpha thalassaemia and extended alpha globin genes in Sri Lanka.
The α-globin genes were studied in nine families with unexplained hypochromic anaemia and in 167 patients with HbE β thalassaemia in Sri Lanka. As well as the common deletion forms of α(+) thalassaemia three families from an ethnic minority were found to carry a novel form of α(0) thalassaemia, one family carried a previously reported form of α(0) thalassaemia, --(THAI), and five families had d...
متن کاملdetection of unknown deletions in alpha globin genes in alpha thalassemia carriers using real-time pcr
objective: alpha-thalassemia is one of the most prevalent hemoglobin disorders in the world and it is a common hereditary condition caused by deletion of one or more α-globin genes. common α-thalassemia deletions like 3.7 kb, 4.2 kb, 20.5 kb and med can be detected by multiplex pcr. there are, however, some unknown deletions that can not be detected by the mentioned method or even by direct dna...
متن کاملControlling alpha-globin: a review of alpha-globin expression and its impact on beta-thalassemia.
Synthesis of alpha-globin and alpha-globin subunits of hemoglobin occurs at high levels during erythrocyte differentiation in a tightly controlled and coordinated fashion. Expression of alpha-globin is a fascinatingly complex process which has been meticulously defined in several recent studies, from chromatin modifications to Pol II recruitment. Following this, alpha-globin transcripts are pro...
متن کاملRegulation of human alpha-globin gene expression and alpha-thalassemia.
Hemoglobin and globin genes are important models for studying protein and gene structure, function and regulation. We reviewed the main aspects of regulation of human alpha-globin synthesis, encoded by two adjacent genes (alpha(2) and alpha(1)) clustered on chromosome 16. Their expression is controlled mainly by a regulatory element located 40 kb upstream on the same chromosome, the alpha-major...
متن کاملA newly discovered human alpha-globin gene.
A previously undefined transcript with significant homology to the pseudo-alpha2 region of the alpha-globin locus on human chromosome 16 was detected as part of an effort to better define the transcriptional profiles of human reticulocytes. Cloning and sequencing of that transcript (GenBank AY698022; named mu-globin) revealed an insert with a 423-nucleotide open reading frame. BLASTP and Clusta...
