Fetal Haemoglobin and β -globin Gene Cluster Haplotypes among Sickle Cell Patients in Chhattisgarh

Beta-Globin Gene Cluster Haplotypes in Iranian Sickle Cell Patients: Relation to Some Hematologic

Background: Sickle cell anemia is relatively common in Khuzestan province located in Southwest Iran. The characteristics of sickle cell disease in Iran are apparently different from other regions some of these characteristics might be related to β-chain haplotypes. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of β-chain haplotypes in 50 patients with homozygous sickle cell anemia in...

Ava II Site as a Marker of β-Globin Gene Polymorphism, among Normal and Sickle Cell Patients in Iran

The restriction enzyme Ava II detects the base change of the intervening sequence II (IVS II) which is used as one of the markers of β-globin gene polymorphism. This study was conducted to determine the frequency of the Ava II site on the β-globin gene among normal people and patients with sickle cell syndrome (SCS) in Iran. DNA fragments containing the IVS II region of the β-globin gene from...

Presence of atypical beta globin (HBB) gene cluster haplotypes in sickle cell anemia patients of India

β-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...

Elucidation of βs/ Globin Gene clusters Haplotypes Related to Sickle Cell Anemia in Khuzestan Province, Southwest of Iran

Background & objectives: The researcher clarified that β/Globin gene cluster haplotypes in patients with sickle cell anemia provide useful population data as predictors of the disease severity, gene flow, and the origins of sickle cell mutation in this region. Materials and methods: A total of 150 subjects was investigated in two different groups for five polymorphism restriction site...
