detection of rare beta globin gene mutations in northwestern iran

چکیده
introduction: recent molecular studies on iranian β-thalassemia genes revealed the presence of eight common mutations associated with thalassemia. although these mutations are frequent, there are other rare and unknown mutations that can create large problems in designing preventive programs. we detected and explained the common mutations in north-western iran previously and detection of the rare and unknown mutations could be useful in diagnosis and design of future preventive programs. methods: in this study, 5ml peripheral blood from 20 azari- β-thalassemia patients whose mutation was not revealed in the previous study was collected and dna extraction was done by isopropanol and proteinase k method. initially, samples were examined for the rare mutations: codon6, codon16, codon41/42, codon36/37, -88 and codon22 by arms – pcr techniques and then the unknown cases were directly sequenced. results: according to our results, codon15(tgg-tga), codon16(-c), codon36/37(-t), ivsii-848(c-a), ivsii-745(c-g), -28(a-c( and codon25/26(+t) were recognized and added to the spectrom of beta globin gene mutations in azerbaijan and iran. also, we detected four snp sites: 5’utr+20(c-t), codon2 (cac-cat) , ivsii-16(c-g) and ivsii-666(t-c) in β-thalassemia genes. conclusion: our results could be useful for developing molecular screening plans and help prenatal diagnosis of beta thalassemia in azerbaijan , iran and other neighboring countries.

Dear Editor, Beta Thalassemia major is a genetic disease with an autosomal recessive pattern and is differentiated by severe microcytic hypochromic hemolytic anemia with hepatosplenomegaly, ineffective erythropoiesis and bone marrow expansion. The β-globin (HBB) gene coding for β-chain expression is located on a 50 kb globin gene cluster on the short arm of chromosome 11, whose mutation mediate...

Background and Aim: Beta-thalassemia ( -thalassemia) is characterized by the reduced synthesis of the hemoglobin beta chain. Nowadays, more than 200 disease-causing mutations in beta-globin ( -globin) gene have been identified. Betathalassemia is the most common monogenic disease worldwide and one of the widespread hereditary disorders in Iran. Considering the vast spectrum of beta-thalassemia ...

Molecular Spectrum of Beta-Globin Mutations in Transfusion-Dependent Patients with Thalassemia in Qazvin Province, Iran
Background: Beta thalassemia is a common inherited disease, resulting from one or more of 200 different mutations in the beta-globin gene. Qazvin province has attracted migrations of several different populations due to industrialization during the past five decades. The aim of this study was to define the molecular spectrum of beta-thalassemia mutations in Qazvin province. Methods: Ethylen dia...

Background and purpose: Beta-thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by reduction or complete absence of beta-globin gene expression. This study aimed to find out and determine the spectrum of beta-globin gene mutations and especially rare mutation in beta-carrier couple in Babolsar, north region of Iran. This is very important in perinatal diagnosis of thalassemia. Materia...
