Ten patients with thalassemia intermedia with variable severity and apparent simple heterozygosis for beta0 39 C>T nonsense mutation were submitted to clinical, hematologic and molecular studies. The presence of an unknown molecular defect (silent beta-thalassemia) unlinked to the beta cluster interacting with the heterozygous beta thalassemia, was previously postulated in these families. Analy...
Background: The double heterozygous state of α/β thalassemia may alter the hematological indices and modify the phonotype. In addition, definite characterization of co-inheritance of αand β-thalassemia heterozygous carriers may change the process of genetic counseling. Materials and Methods: An Iranian couple with low hematological indices was analyzed for α-globin gene deletions using multiple...
BACKGROUND: The thalassemic syndromes originate from mutations of the globin genes that cause, besides the characteristic clinical picture, also an increased Hb F amount. It is not yet clear if there are more factors, besides the beta globin genotype, determining the Hb F production. We have tried to find out if there are relations between total Hb and Hb F, between erythropoietin (Epo) and Hb ...
Developmental hemoglobin switching involves sequential globin gene activations and repressions that are incompletely understood. Earlier observations, described herein, led us to hypothesize that nuclear ferritin is a repressor of the adult beta-globin gene in embryonic erythroid cells. Our data show that a ferritin-family protein in K562 cell nuclear extracts binds specifically to a highly con...
Sickle cell disease results from a homozygous missense mutation in the β-globin gene that causes polymerization of hemoglobin S. Gene therapy for patients with this disorder is complicated by the complex cellular abnormalities and challenges in achieving effective, persistent inhibition of polymerization of hemoglobin S. We describe our first patient treated with lentiviral vector-mediated addi...
Hemoglobinopathies are important inherited disorders with high prevalence in many tropical countries. Prediction of protein nanostructure and function is a great challenge in proteomics and structural genomics. Identifying the point vulnerable to mutation is a new trend in research on disorders at the genomic and proteomic level. A bioinformatics analysis was performed to determine the position...
BACKGROUND β-thalassemia is the most common monogenic disorder in Iran, and one of the challenges in the screening of the carriers is the coinheritance of α-thalassemia mutations. In the view of high prevalence of α-thalassemia mutations in many parts of the country, the aim of this study was to determine the carrier frequency of common alpha deletions, as a secondary modifier in clinical manif...
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the geographic distribution of β-globin gene mutations in different ethnic groups in Yunnan province. METHODS From 2004 to 2014, 1,441 subjects with hemoglobin disorders, identified by PCR-reverse dot blot and DNA sequencing, were studied according to ethnicity and geographic origin. Haplotypes were examined among 41 unrelated thalassemia ch...
Applications of various molecular methods for the analysis of mutations in the @-globin gene has led to the identification of nearly 100 different @-thalassemia mutations in the world.’ Recently, two methods have been described for mutation detection that rely on the analysis of single-stranded conformation polymorphisms (sscp) ofDNA2 or of RNA.’ We find that DNA s s c p and RNA sscp analysis b...
Whole-exome sequencing (WES) has been increasingly useful for the diagnosis of patients with rare causes of anemia, particularly when there is an atypical clinical presentation or targeted genotyping approaches are inconclusive. Here, we describe a 20-yr-old man with a lifelong moderate-to-severe anemia with accompanying splenomegaly who lacked a definitive diagnosis. After a thorough clinical ...
