Haemoglobin H disease in Arabs in Kuwait.
Three cases of haemoglobin H disease are described in Arabs, two of Syrian and one of Kuwaiti origin. Two were investigated on account of moderate anaemia, the third for splenomegaly not associated with anaemia.
متن کاملPernicious anaemia among Arabs in Kuwait.
Addisonian pernicious anaemia is believed to be very rare in Arabs. Three cases are reported. Two were Jordanians of Palestinian origin and one an Egyptian. All had the typical peripheral macrocytosis, a frankly megaloblastic bone marrow, and a Schilling test result in the range of pernicious anaemia. All three improved remarkably on vitamin B(12) therapy and have maintained a normal haemoglobi...
متن کاملDifferent real-time PCR systems yield different gene expression values.
Most polymerase chain reaction (PCR) systems employ pre-determined settings and proprietary master mixes that differ from one system to another. It is not known whether these differences may affect gene expression values. We compared two major real-time PCR technologies, from Life Technologies (formerly Applied Biosystems; ABI7500) and Roche Applied Science (LC480), using their default settings...
متن کاملTakayasu's disease in Arabs.
Four cases of Takayasu's disease in female Arabs are reported. All patients had classical features of the disease. Typing for HLA phenotype showed that all patients had HLA A2, A9, BW35 and DR7 antigens, suggesting an immunogenetic basis for the disease. As far as we know, this is the first report of Takayasu's disease in this ethnic group.
متن کاملFactor V Leiden, MTHFR C677T and Prothrombin Gene Mutation G20210A in Iranian Patients with Venous Thrombosis
Background: Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin gene (G20210A) and MTHFR (C677T) polymorphism are the main biomarkers for evaluation of tendency for venous thromboembolism. We aimed to investigate the frequency of mutations in factor V Leiden, Prothrombin G20210A and MTHFR C677T and identify the genetic status for these mutations in patients with venous thrombosis. Methods: This study was carried out...
