Summary: | <p>The current work focuses on two rare hemoglobin (Hb) variants - Hb Grange-Blanche and Hb Hofu - found for the first time in association with α-thalassemia in Eastern India. The unusual case of Hb Grange-Blanche and FS 41/42(-CTTT) mutations in cis throws light on importance of multiple mutations and its coinheritance with ααα<sup>anti3.7</sup> triplication indicates a possible cause for the clinical severity in b-thalassemia carriers.</p><p> </p><p>目前的工作聚焦点在于两种稀有的血红蛋白(Hb)变异体:Grange-Blanche血红蛋白和Hofu血红蛋白,它们与α-地中海贫血症一同在印度东部被首次发现。Grange-Blanche血红蛋白和在独联体发现的FS 41/42(-CTTT)突变体的特殊情况,阐明了多元突变,其继承性及αααanti3.7在临床可能表现出严重β-地中海贫血症状的重要性。</p> |
