To cite: Singh A, Varma S. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2014-207637 DESCRIPTION A 19-year-old man presented with dysmorphic facies, progressive fatigability and exertional breathlessness from the age of 15 years. On examination the patient had classical ‘Chipmunk facies’ (figure 1), short stature, delayed puberty and mild splenomegaly. X-ray of...
متن کاملΒ-thalassaemia Trait: Haematological Parameters
Background: β-Thalassaemia syndromes are a group of hereditary disorders characterised by a genetic deficiency in the synthesis of β-globin chains due to a defect in β-globin genes. The objective of this study was to determine the haematological features of β-thalassaemia trait (BTT), and to determine the sensitivity of Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH) and Mentz...
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of β-thalassaemia by coelocentesis
Coelomic fluid and placental tissue were obtained from four women undergoing termination of pregnancy at 7–9 weeks gestation for psychological reasons. All four women and their partners were known carriers of β-thalassaemia and DNA analysis in their blood identified the mutation carried by each of them. Allelespecific polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis techniq...
متن کاملα-thalassaemia
Thalassaemia is one of the most common genetic diseases worldwide, with at least 60,000 severely affected individuals born every year. Individuals originating from tropical and subtropical regions are most at risk. Disorders of haemoglobin synthesis (thalassaemia) and structure (eg, sickle-cell disease) were among the first molecular diseases to be identified, and have been investigated and cha...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of α- and β-Thalassaemia among Malay Patients
Both α- and β-thalassaemia syndromes are public health problems in the multi-ethnic population of Malaysia. To molecularly characterise the α- and β-thalassaemia deletions and mutations among Malays from Penang, Gap-PCR and multiplexed amplification refractory mutation systems were used to study 13 α-thalassaemia determinants and 20 β-thalassaemia mutations in 28 and 40 unrelated Malays, respec...
