Prevalence of Delta Beta Thalassemia Minor in Southern Iran
Background: Hb A2 is elevated in subjects with beta thalassemia minor but small percent of carriers have normal Hb A2 with elevated levels of HbF (2-10%). This type of thalassemia is called delta beta thalassemia, and can be missed in pre-marriage hematologic consults or screening which leads to increased risk of child birth with beta thalassemia major. Materials and Methods: In this prospe...
متن کاملWhole blood viscosity in beta thalassemia minor.
Patients with heterozygous beta-thalassemia minor have a decreased hematocrit (HCT). Since the HCT is a primary determinant of whole blood viscosity, the known reduction in HCT in beta-thalassemia minor should lead to a measurable reduction of whole blood viscosity. The influence of the relatively lower mean corpuscular volume and consequent higher red blood cell count and beta-thalassemia mino...
متن کاملFoxo3 gene expression and oxidative status in beta-thalassemia minor subjects
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress may aggravate symptoms of hemolytic anemias such as beta-thalassemia. FoxO3 activation results in resistance to oxidative stress in fibroblasts and neuronal cell cultures. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this research was to study FoxO3 gene expression and oxidative status in beta-thalassemia minor individuals. METHODS Sixty-three subjects (42 apparently healthy individ...
متن کاملBeta-Thalassemia Minor Is Associated with IgA Nephropathy
Thalassemia refers to a group of hereditary diseases caused by a defect in alpha or beta globin synthesis [1]. This impaired synthesis leads to a reduced supply of globin chains and results in the malformation of hemoglobin, which gives rise to microcytic hypochromic anemia. However, since synthesis of the unaffected globin occurs at a normal rate, the alpha or beta subunits accumulate dispropo...
متن کاملSerum cancer antigen 15.3 concentrations in patients with beta-thalassemia minor compared to those with cancer and healthy in-dividuals
Background :Highserum level of cancer antigen 15.3 (CA15.3) has been reported in some malignant and nonmalignant conditions including thalassemia major which could have been resulted from ineffective erythropoiesis. We aimed to evaluate the serum level of CA15.3 in carriers of beta-thalassemia by comparing them with cancer patients and healthy individuals. Methods : This cross-sectional stu...
