The first case of a compound heterozygosity for Hb E-Saskatoon and HbS.
Hemoglobin E-Saskatoon (b22-Glu->Lys) was first described by Vella et al. in a Canadian woman of mixed Scotish and Dutch origin and ever since the variant has been found in Greece, Scotland, Spain and Turkey. Hb E-Saskatoon seems to be an innocuous variant but there are not any available data concerning the association of haemoglobin E-Saskatoon with other haemoglobinopathies. Few published dat...

متن کاملComments on: “Clinical, hematological and genetic data of a cohort of children with hemoglobin SD”☆
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of genetic conditions related to the presence of a sickle hemoglobin (Hb S) mutation (HBB:c.20A>T). People with SCD can be homozygous for Hb S or can have compound heterozygosity for Hb S with other gene mutations.1,2 Some hematologic features of SCD are listed in Table 1, but rare genotypes can also be found. Since the concentration of Hb S is a pathophysio...
متن کاملDNA studies are necessary for accurate patient diagnosis in compound heterozygosity for Hb Adana (HBA2:c.179>A) with deletional or nondeletional α-thalassaemia
Haemoglobin (Hb) Adana (HBA2:c.179>A) interacts with deletional and nondeletional α-thalassaemia mutations to produce HbH disorders with varying clinical manifestations from asymptomatic to severe anaemia with significant hepatosplenomegaly. Hb Adana carriers are generally asymptomatic and haemoglobin subtyping is unable to detect this highly unstable α-haemoglobin variant. This study identifie...

There are more than 400 different variations on α-globin protein, and most of them are not associated with noticeable clinical manifestation. Hemoglobin (Hb) is an oxygen-transporting protein and Hb Daneshgah- Tehran is an α-globin variant that for the first time was reported from Iran in a case with normal haematological indices. The capillary electrophoresis of an 8-year- old-girl with normal...
