The haemoglobin pattern of sickle cell and haemoglobin C beta +-thalassaemia in Liberia.

چکیده
Haemoglobin components in 21 Liberians with Hb S beta +-thalassaemia and four with Hb C beta +-thalassaemia were measured to classify the forms of beta +-thalassaemia present in the population. In 20 Hb S and all Hb C beta +-thalassaemics the data were consistent with the interaction of these variants with the mild type 2 (Negro) form of beta +-thalassaemia. The data available were insufficient to classify the remaining case, a young child. It was concluded that the clinically more severe type of beta +-thalassaemia giving Hb A levels of 5 to 15% in compound heterozygotes is probably uncommon in Liberia.

A Ghanaian family is described in which a sickle-cell haemoglobin C man married to a sickle-cell thalassaemia woman produced 12 children (eight alive). Four children have sickle-cell anaemia, two sickle-cell haemoglobin C disease, one has sickle-cell thalassaemia, and one is asymptomatic haemoglobin C thalassaemia.It is emphasized that the contribution that adult sickle-cell disease patients ma...

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 کاملCan Trimodal Distribution of HbS Levels in Sickle Cell Traits Be Used To Predict the Associated Alpha-Thalassemia For Screening Cases in Central India?
Background: Until now, trimodal distribution of HbS has been seen by six different studies in the world when associated with alpha-thalassemia with confirmation by corresponding alpha-genotyping studies. The RBC indices reduce as alpha-globin genes reduce in sickle cell trait (SCT) patients, which decreases the extent of intra-vascular sickling and thus betters the clinical cou...
متن کاملEvaluation of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) pattern and prevalence of beta-thalassaemia trait among sickle cell disease patients in Lagos, Nigeria
INTRODUCTION Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common inherited disorder of haemoglobin worldwide. This study evaluated the chromatographic patterns and red blood cell indices of sickle cell patients to determine the co-inheritance of other haemoglobin(Hb) variants and β-thalassaemia trait. METHODS Red cell indices, blood film, sickle solubility test, Hb electrophoresis using alkaline cel...

Aims: To assess the accuracy and precision of measuring haemoglobin A2 by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in the presence and absence of sickle cell trait, with or without a thalassaemia trait. Methods: The haemoglobin A2 percentage and the haemoglobin A2 plus S percentages were determined by HPLC on 82 normal controls and 78 patients with sickle cell trait, respectively; the a th...
