A Comparative Biochemical Study of Proteins Profile in Iraqi Children and Adolescent with ?-Thalassemia

The aim of the present research is to study different protein fractions in sera of children and adolescent with  β –thalassemia major and minor and to compare the results with that of healthy control.One hundred fifty children and adolescents were enrolled in this study,including 50 patients wit...

description The aim of the present research is to study different protein fractions in sera of children and adolescent with  β –thalassemia major and minor and to compare the results with that of healthy control.One hundred fifty children and adolescents were enrolled in this study,including 50 patients with β- thalassemia major , 50 patients with  β- thalassemia minor as pathological control group and another apparently 50 healthy individuals as a control group. The age of all studied  groups ranged from (4-18)years.Total protein, albumin and immunoglobulins were estimated in sera of all subjects.  A Significant  decrease  was  found  in  the  total  protein and  albumin  levels  in sera  of both major and minor thalassemic patients  compared to normal groups. A Significant  increase  in  immunoglobulin  levels  (IgG, IgM and IgA) was found in the sera of major and minor   Î²-thalassemia patients compared to control.Different protein parts in sera of all subjects were detected  using cellulose acetate electrophoresis.The results revealed   significant  reduction in  β- globulin fractions  in    β- thalassemia major patients compared  to the normal  and pathological control groups. Significant elevations in γ- globulins fractions were observed in both major β- thalassemia and minor β- thalassemia  as compared to normal control group. As a Conclusion the alteration in some protein parts occurred which is more obvious in major thalassemia patients compared to the normal and pathological control groups. Key words: Protein Parts , Elecrtrophoresis , β-Thalassemia
