Distinct phenotypic expression associated with a new hyperunstable alpha globin variant (Hb heraklion, alpha1cd37(C2)Pro>0): comparison to other alpha-thalassemic hemoglobinopathies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Clinical phenotypes associated with abnormal globin chain biosynthesis may result in thalassemia (deficient quantity) or hemolytic anemia (abnormal hemoglobins). However, the phenotypic expression of hyperunstable hemoglobin variants often includes features of thalassemia, along with variable

Hemoglobinopathy York [beta146 (HC3) His==>Pro]: first report of a family history.

Only registered users can translate articles

The rare hemoglobinopathies with abnormal oxygen binding are usually characterized by erythropoietin-mediated erythrocytosis. Bare et al. first described a hemoglobinopathy with mild erythrocytosis in a 22-year-old Caucasian woman in 1976. These authors called the abnormal hemoglobin Hb York. Hb

Detection of point mutations associated with genetic diseases by an exon scanning technique.

Only registered users can translate articles

A major challenge in genetics is identifying the basis of human heritable disease. We describe an "exon scanning" technique which surveys exons in genomic DNA for sequence alterations. By hybridizing genomic DNA to RNA probes derived from cDNAs, we can use RNase A to survey entire coding regions,

A novel beta-globin mutation, beta Durham-NC [beta 114 Leu-->Pro], produces a dominant thalassemia-like phenotype.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mutations within exon 3 of the beta-globin gene are relatively uncommon, and many of these mutations produce a dominant thalassemia-like phenotype. We describe a novel thalassemic hemoglobinopathy caused by a single nucleotide substitution (CTG-->CCG) at codon 114 resulting in a leucine to proline

Hb Southampton [beta106(G8)Leu-->Pro, CTG-->CCG] in an Argentinean boy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hb Southampton (also known as Hb Casper) is characterized by the substitution of a leucine residue for a proline at codon beta106 (CTG-->CCG). This mutation breaks the G helix and severely distorts the tertiary structure of the molecule, producing an unstable hemoglobin (Hb) and severe hemolysis. We

Hb Feilding [β12(A9)Thr → Pro; HBB: c.37A>C]: a novel unstable β-globin chain variant.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report here a patient heterozygous for a previously unreported β chain variant. A 72-year-old Caucasian female was found to have an abnormal hemoglobin (Hb) as an incidental finding following Hb A1C analysis. There was no family history of anemia or hemoglobinopathy. Her full blood count revealed

A Dutch family with Hb Atlanta [beta 75(E19)Leu-->Pro].

Only registered users can translate articles

We have investigated four members of a three-generation Dutch family for a suspected hemoglobinopathy. Chronic hemolysis and a moderate macrocytic normochromic anemia with slight morphological abnormalities of the red cells was observed in all four. Hemoglobin chain synthesis in vitro and separation

Can mutations in the gene encoding transcription factor EKLF (Erythroid Krüppel-Like Factor) protect us against infectious and parasitic diseases?

Only registered users can translate articles

Transcription factor EKLF (Erythroid Krüppel-Like Factor) belongs to the group of Krüppellike factors, which regulate proliferation, differentiation, development and apoptosis of mammalian cells. EKLF factor is present in erythroid cells, where it participates in regulation of hematopoiesis,

Hematological Characterizations and Molecular Diagnostic Aspects of Hb Wiangpapao [α44(CE2)Pro→Ser (α1), CCG>TCG; HBA1: c.133C>T], a New α-Globin Variant Found in a Pregnant Thai Woman.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report the hematological parameters and provide a rapid molecular analysis method for detection of Hb Wiangpapao [α44(CE2)Pro→Ser, CCG>TCG; HBA1: c.133C>T], a new α-globin variant found in a pregnant Thai woman. Her red cell indices were measured by an automated blood counter. The results were:

Hb Gunma (beta Gunma) with pulmonary embolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 67-year-old woman with pulmonary embolism was suspected to have beta-thalassemia based on microcytosis, hemolysis and a negative red cell stability test. The DNA sequencing analysis of beta-globin gene, however, revealed the deletion of three nucleotides within codon 127-128, leading to

The role of the arginine metabolome in pain: implications for sickle cell disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common hemoglobinopathy in the US, affecting approximately 100,000 individuals in the US and millions worldwide. Pain is the hallmark of SCD, and a subset of patients experience pain virtually all of the time. Of interest, the arginine metabolome is associated
