چکیده
The present study was carried out among two tribal populations residing in Khammam district of Andhra Pradesh, South India. A sample of 132 Koyadora and 40 Nayakpod individuals of all ages were collected for the purpose of screening for the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, haptoglobins, transferrins and

Seasonal Childhood Anaemia in West Africa Is Associated with the Haptoglobin 2-2 Genotype
BACKGROUND Anaemia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for children in Africa. The plasma protein haptoglobin (Hp) binds avidly to free haemoglobin released following malaria-induced haemolysis. Haptoglobin polymorphisms result in proteins with altered haemoglobin-binding capacity and different antioxidant, iron-recycling, and immune functions. Previous studies examined the importance o...
متن کاملAssociations between Red Cell Polymorphisms and Plasmodium falciparum Infection in the Middle Belt of Ghana
BACKGROUND Red blood cell (RBC) polymorphisms are common in malaria endemic regions and are known to protect against severe forms of the disease. Therefore, it is important to screen for these polymorphisms in drugs or vaccines efficacy trials. This study was undertaken to evaluate associations between clinical malaria and RBC polymorphisms to assess biological interactions that may be necessar...
متن کاملPhenotypic and quantitative relationship of red cell acid phosphatase with haemoglobin, haptoglobin, and G6PD phenotypes.
The phenotypic and quantitative relationship of red cell acid phosphatase with haemoglobin, haptoglobin, and G6PD phenotypes was investigated in three populations in the Sudan and one population in Nilgiris, India. No significant consistent association of red cell acid phosphatase phenotypes was observed with these polymorphisms. However, there was a lack of acid phosphatase AB in G6PD deficien...

متن کاملA Correlative Study of HLA, Sickle Cell Gene and G6PD Deficiency with Splenomegaly and Malaria Incidence Among Bhils and Pawra Tribes from Dhadgon, Dhule, Maharastra
Haldane proposed that the sickle cell gene provides a survival advantage in malarial endemic regions. A high malarial endemicity has also been attributed to a high prevalence of G6PD deficiency in the Middle East and South East Asia. Moreover, the HLA antigens have been postulated to confer a protective immunity among the malaria endemic population. To evaluate a correlation in between these in...
