A possible subclass of the hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin.

چکیده
I N A ROUTINE SURVEY OF HEMOGLOBINS in patients at the Veterans Administration Hospital at Augusta, Georgia, an elevated amount of hemoglobin F (Hb-F) was observed in a Caucasian male. This individual had been repeatedly admitted for orthopedic treatment of a war injury and not because of any hematologic problem. Subsequent investigation determined that the condition was inherited and that the Hb-F contained only one of the two types of y chain (termed y and A7) that are normally present in the Hb-F of the newborn.1 This paper reports the details of that investigation which has been briefly described.2

Nature of fetal hemoglobin in the Greek type of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin with and without concurrent beta-thalassemia.
The fetal hemoglobin in the affected members of three Greek families with the hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin has only gamma-chains of the type with alanine in position 136. Although certain Negro families had been considered to have only this type of gamma-chains in their fetal hemoglobin, further studies required that they be reclassified. Consequently, the Greek cases are the sole...
متن کاملItalian Type of Deletional Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin
We report a new type of deletion of the fi globin gene cluster in the Italian population that confers a phenotype of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) to the carriers. This deletion begins -5 kilobases (kb) 5’ to the #{246} globin gene and ends -30 kb 3’ to the fi globin gene. in close proximity to the 3’ end of an Indian HPFH. In all four previously described HPFH. a repetitive...
متن کاملRetinal changes in sickle cell/hereditary persistence of fetal haemoglobin syndrome.
We describe for the first time retinal changes in sickle cell/hereditary persistence of fetal haemoglobin syndrome, which is a rare and benign disorder. The changes are qualitatively similar to retinal disease seen with sickle haemoglobin and sickle C haemoglobin, but are mild.

To determine whether hemoglobin regulation is normal in diseases affecting 1-globin gene expression. globin synthesis was examined in members of a family of a patient with hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin/fi#{176}-thalassemia (HPFH/$#{176}-thal). The HPFH defect is the Ghanian type II. with a deletion from t’$ to at least 20 kb 3’ to . The / #{176}-thaI gene has the haplotype II restr...
متن کاملFetal hemoglobin synthesis in erythroid cultures in hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin and beta o-thalassemia.
To determine whether hemoglobin regulation is normal in diseases affecting beta-globin gene expression, globin synthesis was examined in members of a family of a patient with hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin/beta o-thalassemia (HPFH/beta o-thal). The HPFH defect is the Ghanian type II, with a deletion from psi beta 1 to at least 20 kb 3' to beta. The beta o-thal gene has the haplotype...
