Hb Southampton [B106(G8)Leu→PRO, CTG→CCG] in a Uruguayan woman
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hemoglobin Southampton (also known as hemoglobin Casper) is a rare hemoglobin structural variant resulting from a substitution of a leucine residue for proline at codon beta106 [beta106(G8)Leu→Pro, CTG→CCG]. It is very unstable and associated with severe hemolytic anemia. We detected this mutation in a 37-year-old Uruguayan woman with a history of severe chronic hemolytic anemia since her childhood. According to our knowledge this is the first time that this variant has been found in the Uruguayan population.

Mutations within exon 3 of the @-globin gene are relatively uncommon, and many of these mutations produce a dominant thalassemia-like phenotype. We describe a novel thalassemic hemoglobinopathy caused by a single nucleotide substitution (CTG + CCG) at codon 1 14 resulting in a leucine to proline substitution and designate it @Durham-NC B1 14 Leu + Pro]. The mutation producing this thalassemic h...

The molecular basis of dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3; dihydrolipoamide:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.8.1.4) deficiency in an E3-deficient patient was studied. Fibroblasts cultured from the patient contained only approximately 6% of the E3 activity of cells from a normal subject. Western and Northern blot analyses indicated that, compared to control cells, the patient's cells had a reduced amou...

Introduction & Objective: Infertility affects 10-15% of couples worldwide, and male factors account for nearly half of all infertility cases. Evidence suggests that genetic variation in anti-oxidant enzymes could influence male infertility. Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1) is an anti-oxidant selenoenzyme that detoxify peroxide radicals. GPx1 Pro198Leu polymorphism causes an aminoacid change from...
