An unusual case of heterozygous hemoglobin S/hemoglobin Fannin-Lubbock misidentified by capillary hemoglobin electrophoresis.

چکیده
A 58-year-old Hispanic man under treatment for a gangrenous toe was found to have chronic microcytic anemia and a positive sickle cell screen. High-performance liquid chromatography and isoelectric focusing electrophoresis showed that the patient is double heterozygous for hemoglobin S and hemoglobin Fannin-Lubbock. The patient does not have any manifestations of a sickling disorder. Capillary hemoglobin electrophoresis initially misclassified this unusual combination of hemoglobin variants.

Hemoglobinopathies are most common inherited disorders in the world; approximately 7 percent of the worldwide population and 5-6 percent of population of Iran are carriers. The hemoglobin disorders inherit as autosomal recessive and are very common in the Mediterranean area and much of the Asia and Africa.

متن کاملUse of Capillary Electrophoresis for Detection of Hemoglobinopathies in Individuals Referred to Health Centers in Masjed-Soleiman
Background: Hemoglobinopathies are the commonest single gene disorder in human that affect hemoglobin production and function that occur when mutations alter the amino acid sequence of globin chains. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of hemoglobninopathies detected by capillary electrophoresis method in individuals referred to Masjed-Soleiman health centers by capi...

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...
متن کاملHemoglobin Hasharon and hemoglobin NYU in subjects of German origin.
Determination of HbA1c values with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) occasionally reveals hemoglobin anomalies with no or minimal clinical evidence. We coincidentally detected two cases of Hb Hasharon, an alpha globin gene mutation, in two heterozygous patients and one case of Hb NYU, a delta globin gene mutation, in another patient. Both anomalies have not been described in subject...
