New 13-Chain Variant of Haemoglobin A Found in Combination with Haemoglobin S

چکیده
During a routine study of the parents of a 3month-old Jamaican child with the sickle-cell trait the father was found to have a haemoglobin electrophoretic pattern identical to that of homozygous sickle-cell disease. Because he was perfectly well and had no haematological abnormalities detailed studies of his haemoglobin constitution were undertaken. These indicate that he is heterozygous for both haemoglobin S and a previously undescribed /3-chain haemoglobin variant.

Haemoglobin Osu - Christiansborg : A New - chain Variant of Haemoglobin A ( , 352 ( D 3 ) Aspartic Acid - - Asparagine ) in Combination with Haemoglobin S
A 63-year-old man, a member of the Ga tribe from the Osu-Christiansborg area in Accra was examined for hypertension. On incubation with 2% sodium metabisulphate his red cells readily sickle. Only two haemoglobin bands were demonstrated by paper electrophoresis at pH 8-9 (Cradock-Watson, Fenton, and Lehmann, 1959) and starch gel electrophoresis atpH 8-6 (Poulik, 1957), a minor one corresponding ...

Sickle cell trait is a benign haemoglobin disorder which rarely results in disease or complications. A few cases of osteonecrosis have been reported in the literature in parts of the world with advanced health care system. There are various predispositions to developing avascular necrosis in general, while the sickle beta globin gene inheritance is the most efficient factor. Injection drug abus...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Maternal Haemoglobin and Haematocrit with Low Birth Weight and Preterm Labour
Background & aim: Low levels of maternal haemoglobin and haematocrit in the first, second, and third trimesters are considered as possible risk factors regarding low birth weight (LBW) and preterm labour (PTL). The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between maternal haemoglobin (Hb) and haematocrit (HCT) levels with LBW and PTL. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on...
متن کاملSample dilution to resolve mistaken identification of haemoglobin D as haemoglobin E using the variant automated system.
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is increasingly being used to estimate variant haemoglobins. A case of haemoglobin S/D (HbS/D) is presented, which was misdiagnosed as haemoglobin S/E (HbS/E) by HPLC. The patient was a 22 year old woman with sickle cell anaemia. Subsequent haemodilution by blood transfusion clearly elucidated the haemoglobin D peak on HPLC. Sample dilution experime...
