We prospectively compared a single-tube multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detecting alpha-thalassemia with our current approach using 452 blood samples. Initial evaluation of 89 specimens revealed sensitivity and specificity, respectively, for the hemoglobin H inclusion body test (HbH prep) vs PCR for detecting alpha0-thalassemia carriers of 0.79 and 0.96 and for a mean corpuscular ...
Co-inheritance of alpha-thalassemia with homozygosity or compound heterozygosity for beta-thalassemia may ameliorate beta-thalassemia major. A wide range of clinical phenotypes is produced depending on the number of alpha-thalassemia alleles (-alpha/alphaalpha --/alphaalpha, --/-alpha). The co-inheritance of beta-thalassemia with alpha-thalassemia with a single gene deletion (-alpha/alphaalpha)...
Homozygous thalassemia is due to inherited unbalanced synthesis of the alpha- or beta-chains of hemoglobin. Clinical severity may be in part related to the extent of alpha:beta imbalance. Two families are presented that illustrate this concept. Thalassemia in these individuals was evaluated by clinical and genetic criteria. The relative rates of alpha- and beta-chain synthesis in their reticulo...
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...
The conventional approach to qualitative and quantitative analyses of hemoglobin (Hb) molecules for the diagnoses of hemoglobinopathies requires a combination of tests. We used an automated HPLC (VARIANT) system to study alpha-thalassemia and beta-thalassemia syndromes in Thailand. The beta-thalassemia short program is applicable to the diagnosis of alpha-thalassemia and beta-thalassemia disord...
Microcytosis is a common hematological finding, usually related to iron deficiency or beta-thalassemia. When both of these conditions are excluded, alpha-thalassemia must be considered in the differential diagnosis. No simple biochemical test is able to diagnose the alpha-thalassemia trait. Using PCR amplification of the breakpoint in deletional forms, and amplification of the alpha 2 gene and ...
In Southeast Asia alpha-thalassemia, beta-thalassemia, hemoglobin (Hb) E and Hb Constant Spring are prevalent. The gene frequencies of alpha-thalassemia reach 30-40% in Northern Thailand and Laos. beta-Thalassemia gene frequencies vary between 1 and 9%. Hb E is the hallmark of Southeast Asia attaining a frequency of 50-60% at the junction of Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Hb Constant Spring gene...
We have determined the frequency of deletional alpha-thalassemia in black populations in the USA and Africa that harbor sickle cell anemia. In normals, the frequency of the chromosome bearing a deletion of one of the two normal alpha gene loci, designated (-alpha), ranged from 0.12 to 0.16, and in sickle trait subjects, the frequency ranged from 0.18 to 0.20. By contrast, in sickle cell anemia ...
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Alpha (α) thalassemia is a hereditary disorder and is caused by deletions or mutations in globin genes. It is present in two clinically significant forms: hemoglobin Bart hydrops fetalis (Hb Bart) syndrome and hemoglobin H (HbH) disease. It is highly prevalent in South-East Asia or Mediterranean countries. The most common deletion reported in alpha thalassemia in Pakistan...
