Fetal hemoglobin in sickle cell anemia
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is the major genetic modulator of the hematologic and clinical features of sickle cell disease, an effect mediated by its exclusion from the sickle hemoglobin polymer. Fetal hemoglobin genes are genetically regulated, and the level of HbF and its distribution among sickle erythrocytes is highly variable. Some patients with sickle cell disease have exceptionally high level...
متن کاملDifferences in antigenic specificity of human normal adult, fetal, and sickle cell anemia hemoglobin.
By MORRIS GOODMAN, PH.D.* AND DAN H. CAMPBELL, Pn.D. T HE DEMONSTRATION by Pauling et al.’ that sickle cell anemia hemoglobin has a slightly higher isoelectric point (0.2 pH unit) than normal human adult hemoglobin and the reports of differences in ability to form nematic liquid crystals2 and solubility differences in strong salt solutions3 suggest that differences might also exist in immunoche...

متن کاملFetal hemoglobin in sickle cell anemia: a glass half full?
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) modulates the phenotype of sickle cell anemia by inhibiting deoxy sickle hemoglobin (HbS) polymerization. The blood concentration of HbF, or the number of cells with detectable HbF (F-cells), does not measure the amount of HbF/F-cell. Even patients with high HbF can have severe disease because HbF is unevenly distributed among F-cells, and some cells might have insufficie...
متن کاملFetal hemoglobin and hemolysis markers in sickle cell anemia☆
It has been known for many years that high levels of fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) have an important clinical benefit in patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA). This knowledge was initially based on the observation that populations of Indian and Arabian SCA patients with high Hb F levels have a milder clinical form of the disease.1 Later on, epidemiological studies demonstrated that patients with Hb ...
