Data are reported for an 85-year-old black make who had an HPFH condition on one chromosome and a suspected 'delta-thalassemia' on the other. Sequence analysis of amplified DNA of an appropriate segment of the delta-globin gene identified a GTG to ATG mutation for codon 98 and thus a Val----Met replacement in the delta chain. This abnormality was confirmed by hybridization of amplified DNA with 32P-labeled synthetic probes and by the amino-acid composition of the isolated tryptic peptide delta T-11. Thus, the 'delta-thalassemia' is caused by the presence of an Hb A2 variant that is considered to be unstable to a similar extent as is Hb K?ln, its beta chain counterpart. 相似文献

Summary We have identified different -thalassemia mutations in 93 members of 34 families of Czech or Slovakian descent using gene amplification, hybridization with specific 32P-labeled oligonucleotide probes, sequencing of amplified DNA, and gene mapping. The GA mutation at IVS-I-1 was found in 18 families; other Mediterranean mutations were IVS-II-1 (GA), IVS-II-745 (CG), IVS-I-110 (GA), and codon 39 (CT); these were present in 9 additional families. The GT mutation at codon 121, known to cause Heinzbody -thalassemia, was present in 3 families, and the frameshift at codons 82/83 (-G), first described in the Azerbaijanian population, in 2 families. A newly discovered allele was a frameshift at codons 38/39 (-C). One -thalassemia allele was incompletely characterized. We observed in 2 families a TC mutation at position +96 UTR (untranslated region) relative to the termination codon; this mutation likely is a rare polymorphism, -Thalassemia was rare; only one person carried the -3.7 heterozygosity, and one other had a yet to be identified -thalassemia-1, while seven had the anti 3.7 triplication. 相似文献

Summary Details are given of a study of blood samples from 24 patients with Hb H disease from different Mediterranean countries and from the Far East. Four different types of -thal-1 (--) were observed, namely-() ( 20.5-kb deletion);--MED-I ( 17.5-kb deletion);--MED-II (>26.5-kb deletion); and--SEA ( 18-kb deletion, in Orientals only). The -thal-2 was mainly of the deletion type (16 with the 3.7-kb deletion; 1 with the 4.2-kb deletion), while 4 of the 7 patients with a nondeletional type had the five-nucleotide deletion at the donor splice site of the first intron of the 2 gene. All patients had a mild-to-moderate hemolytic anemia; no significant differences in hematology were observed between the groups. Hb A2 was decreased to about one-third of the normal level. The Hb H formation varied considerably and its quantitation was not always satisfactory. Patients with Hb H disease due to any -thal-1 combined with a nondeletional -thal-2 had the highest Hb H levels and a more marked anemia. The chain production was small and absent in patients with the MED-II type of -thal-1 because this deletion included the and genes. The highest chain levels were present in the four patients with the SEA type of -thal-1. The chain production was increased, particularly in patients with a mutation of C T at position-158 to the G globin gene. This chain was primarily present as Hb Bart's (or 4) and only about 15% was recovered as Hb F or 22. The evaluation of the rate of chains produced in these patients was greatly facilitated by data from one patient who had Hb H disease and a heterozygosity for the A-+. The low levels of Hb A2 and of Hb F (relative to Hb Bart's) can be explained by a decreased affinity of chains for and chains as compared with chains in conditions of severe chain deficiency. 相似文献

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling based on a commercial package, FLUENT, has been used in the present study. The primary aim of this study is to develop a novel implant by employing CFD techniques. Firstly, CFD analyses on the best design commercially available, which is the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV®), are accomplished. In the light of the results, the new design focus is selected as the valve. The new design is analysed using GAMBIT and FLUENT software. CFD analyses of the new design and the AGV® are compared and the strengths of the new design are revealed. The results are also compared with the experimental studies AGV® in the literature. It is deduced that the proposed model shows a nonlinear pressure drop response, which is quite similar to that of AGV®. The optimum combination would be a flow rate of 2.5 μl/min and a pressure drop of 1054.58 Pa for the proposed model. 相似文献

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) associated cerebrovascular disease includes vascular remodeling, abnormal cerebral blood flow (CBF) and infarction. We studied the relationships between plasma brain derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), platelet derived growth factors (PDGF-AA and -AB/BB) and high trans-cranial Doppler (TCD) velocity, an indication of CBF velocity. Baseline plasma samples from 39 children (19 SCA with abnormal/high TCD [SATCD], 13 SCA with normal TCD [SNTCD] and 7 healthy non-SCA), were assayed for BDNF, PDGF-AA and -AB/BB plus 11 other cytokines. The sensitivity, specificity and usefulness of these biomarkers for stroke prediction was investigated. All subject groups were of similar age and gender distribution. Mean BDNF was significantly higher among SATCD than SNTCD (p=0.004) as was mean PDGF-AA (p=0.001). Similarly, mean PDGF-AA was higher among SCA subjects who developed stroke than those who did not (p=0.012). Elevated BDNF and PDGF-AA were good predictors of the presence of abnormally high CBF velocity and were both associated with severity of anemia. Elevated PDGF-AA predicted risk for stroke development. Stroke incidence and high TCD velocity were associated with elevated BDNF and PDGF-AA. These findings suggest a role for BDNF and PDGF-AA in the patho-physiological mechanism of cerebrovascular disease in SCA. 相似文献

Structural analysis of a fast-moving hemoglobin variant, present in three members of a Qatari family, identified a Val----Glu substitution at position 1 (NA1) of the beta-chain. The introduction of this glutamic acid residue prevents the removal of the initiator methionine, thus extending the N-terminus by one residue to Met-Glu-His-Leu-Thr-. The methionine residue is blocked by an as yet not completely identified molecule. The presence of the variant in a heterozygote does not have clinical consequences. 相似文献

In this study we describe the Chinese IVS-II-654 (C-->T) beta-thalassemia mutation for the first time in an immigrant Turkish family living in Istanbul and originating from Xanthe, Greece. Four members of the family, representing 3 generations, are heterozygous for this mutation. A detailed family history demonstrated a Greek origin for members of 5 generations with no records of migration or consanguineous marriages. Analysis of polymorphic nucleotides located at the 5' end of the beta-globin chromosomes bearing the IVS-II-654 mutation in the family described carried the (AT)9(T)5 type of microsatellite sequence and the ACATCCCCA haplotype. These 2 haplotype components favor a non-Eastern Asian origin for this chromosome, hence suggesting an independent origin for the IVS-II-654 mutation described in this family. 相似文献

The difficulty in isolating the minute quantity of Hb F (<1%) present in the red blood cells of normal adults greatly complicates the determination of its γ chain composition. We have developed a rapid ultra-micro high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method and used it to analyze the γ chain composition of Hb F in 47 adults with Hb F levels between 0.1–3.4%. The method involves the isolation of Hb F from as little as 50 μl of whole blood on an analytical size cation-exchange HPLC column, followed by concentration in a Centricon micro concentrator unit and by reversed-phase HPLC analysis. The entire procedure can be completed in one day and 3–4 analyses can be made simultaneously. We reanalyzed the blood samples from 22 subjects with known β-globin gene cluster haplotypes, and confirmed the association of high, low, and very low Gγ levels with haplotypes A, B, and C, respectively. Also included are the results of DNA sequence analyses of the Gγ and β promoters, and of the locus-control-region hypersensitive site-2 (LCR-HS-2) of the β-globin gene cluster in five subjects homozygous for haplotypes A, B or C; the data obtained failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for all the variations in the Gγ levels that have been observed. 相似文献
