A Case of Nonimmune Hydrops Fetalis Caused by Homozygous α-Thalassemia Homozigot α-Talasemiye Bağlı Gelişen Bir Nonimmün Hidrops Fetalis Olgusu

چکیده
Hydrops fetalis is a serious condition which indicates poor prognosis for the affected fetus. Although the incidence of isoimmune hydrops fetalis has decreased markedly, nonimmune hydrops fetalis cases have been more frequently reported. Nonimmune-mediated hydrops can be caused by hemoglobinopathies. In this report we present a case of nonimmune hydrops fetalis caused by homozygous α-thalassemia. Because of the high incidence of the disease in our country, αthalassemia should be investigated in all cases with nonimmune hydrops fetalis.

متن کاملNonimmune hydrops fetalis due to autosomal recessive hereditary spherocytosis
Background Hereditary spherocytosis is the most common form of inherited hemolytic anemia and is characterized by a structural defect in the RBC membrane. The disorder is commonly inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and leads to a mild to moderate anemia. The autosomal recessive form of hereditary spherocytosis is rarely reported in association with fetal anemia and hydrops fetalis. Ca...
متن کاملSimplified Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis of Common Determinants of Hemoglobin Bart’s Hydrops Fetalis Syndrome Using a Multiplex- Microsatellite PCR Assay
The high incidence of double-gene deletions in α-thalassemia increases the risk of having pregnancies with homozygous α0-thalassemia, the cause of the lethal hemoglobin (Hb) Bart’s hydrops fetalis syndrome. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has played an important role in preventing such cases. However, current gap-PCR based PGD protocol for deletional α-thalassemia required specific prim...
متن کاملSimplified PGD of common determinants of haemoglobin Bart's hydrops fetalis syndrome using multiplex-microsatellite PCR.
The high incidence of double-gene deletions in α-thalassaemia increases the risk of having pregnancies with homozygous α(0)-thalassaemia, the cause of the lethal haemoglobin (Hb) Bart's hydrops fetalis syndrome. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has played an important role in preventing such cases. However, the current gap-PCR based PGD protocol for deletional α-thalassaemia requires spe...
متن کاملHaemoglobinopathies in Southeast Asia
In Southeast Asia α-thalassaemia, β-thalassaemia, haemoglobin (Hb) E and Hb Constant Spring (CS) are prevalent. The abnormal genes in different combinations lead to over 60 different thalassaemia syndromes, making Southeast Asia the locality with the most complex thalassaemia genotypes. The four major thalassaemic diseases are Hb Bart's hydrops fetalis (homozygous α-thalassaemia 1), homozygous ...
