چکیده
This study aimed to to determine the prevalence of Sickle cell diseases and trait and high hemoglobin (Hb) A2 βthalassemia in the province of Makkah among patients of Al-Noor Specialist hospital, Makkah. Retrospective studying the results of 620 requested saudi patients (256 male and 364 female) suffer from Anemia for gel electrophoresis. Covering the period between 1 January 2012 to 30 December 2012 was presented. It was found a significant increase (P<0.05) in prevalence of anemia among females compared to males (1.42/1 ratio). The prevalence for Sickle cell anemia was (38.38%) which showed highly significant increase comparing with (P>0.01) 2-Thalassmia (5.32%) and Non A2 Hemoglobin (2.90%). 2-Thalassmia also, showed significant increase P<0.05) compared with Non A2 Hemoglobin. Hemoglobinopathies occurs frequently among our patients, with majority of cases having Sickle cells anaemia, and cases with heterozygous mutation (trait disease) was the predominant.

Background: Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) is the most common monogenic disorder that is inherited as an autosomal recessive pattern. Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) plays a major role in ameliorating clinical severity of the SCA where higher expression of HbF is associated with a reduction in the painful episode and thus reduces the number of hospitalization. The current work aimed to investigate the effect ...
