Association between XmnI Polymorphism and HbF Level in Sickle Cell Disease Patients from Chhattisgarh

چکیده
The γ(G)-158 (C→T) polymorphism plays important function in the disease severity of sickle cell anemia. The XmnI restriction site at -158 position of the γ(G)-gene is associated with increased expression of the γ(G)-globin gene and higher production of HbF. This study aims to determine the frequency of the different genotypes of the γ(G) Xmn I polymorphism in sickle cell anemia and sickle cell trait patients in Chhattisgarh and its association with high HbF level. The Xmn1 polymorphic site was determined by PCR-RFLP procedure. XmnI polymorphism were studied in 100 sickle cell patients (SS), 50 sickle cell trait (AS) and 50 controls individuals (AA). The presence of XmnI (+/+) site in SS and AS patients associated with the increase of HbF (P<0.0001) synthesis. we also find that presence of one XmnI (+/-) site in SS patients compared with XmnI-/- site had not shows difference in HbF level. Polymorphic association is found between presence and absence of XmnI site with HbF level, in AS and AA individuals.

Background: Molecular genetic factors regulating hemoglobin F (Hb F) expression are important modifiers of the severity of sickle cell anemia (SS). Methods: The prevalence of XmnI polymorphic site, the Gg:Ag ratio and the Hb F level were determined using PCR-RFLP procedure, HPLC and alkaline denaturation method, respectively, in various haplotypes of 52 patients with SS, 18 patients with sickle...

Background: Cytokines are cell signaling molecules which upon release by cells facilitate the recruitment of immune-modulatory cells towards the sites of inflammation. Genetic variations in cytokine genes are shown to regulate their production and affect the risk of infectious as well as autoimmune diseases. Intron-3 of interleukin-4 gene (IL-4) harbors 70-bp variable number of tandem repeats (...

Background: Sickle cell disease occurs due to a mutation in β chains and the substitution of valine instead of glutamate in the sixth position of the ß-chain that causes polymerization and vascular blockage. The aim of this study was to compare the serum C, S proteins and factor V Leiden between sickle cell patients and the control group. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, perf...
متن کاملBENIGN EXTREME HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA IN A 9 YEAR-OLD GIRL WITH SICKLE-THALASSEMIA AND THE PROBABLE ROLE OF HBF IN PREDICTING THE OUTCOME
Hepatic dysfunction is a frequent manifestation in patients with sickle cell anemia. It is usually a multifactorial process. A rare benign form of extreme hyperbilirubinemia, presumably due to intrahepatic sickling, may be the cause. We report a 9 year old girl with sickle-thalassemia hemoglo binopathy, presenting with profound jaundice. Sickle cell disease is often mild in the Iranian popu...
