We report on a 54 years-old male patient from North-Eastern Algeria who combines two hemoglobin variants that are associated with thalassemia-like disorders: Hb Lepore and Knossos (beta 27 Ala----Ser) (1, 2). A beta-thalassemia intermedia picture gradually developed and finally required splenectomy at the age of 53. Total absence of Hb A2 indicated that the beta Knossos gene is most probably flanked with a delta(0)-thalassemia gene. No DNA deletion additional to the Lepore deletion was found. Hb F was elevated (12.3%) with 24% G gamma Hb F. In whole cells, Hb Knossos, representing 70% of total hemoglobin, displayed a decreased affinity for oxygen (P50 = 35 mm Hg), a fact presumably accounting for the relatively good tolerance of the condition.

Diagnosis is confirmed by demonstration of an unstable hemoglobin. This may be done by:. - Isopropanol precipitation test: a simple screening test that involves the incubation of the hemolysate with a 17 percent of isopropanol; hemolysates containing unstable hemoglobin variants form a precipitate, whereas a normal hemolysate remains clear.. - Heat denaturation test: cumbersome and usually not used.. - Heinz body detection: requires the incubation of erythrocytes ...

In vitro incubation under physiological conditions of these erythrocytes for periods of 5-15 hours has been utilized to evaluate effects of various additives on metabolism of the cells. The addition of adenine to the blood stimulates adenine nucleotide biosynthesis and is effective in maintaining levels of adenine nucleotides. An excessive rate of breakdown of adenine nucleotides to hypoxanthine has been shown previously to be a major factor in the inability of these cells to maintain ATP. The addition of azide during in vitro incubation proved detrimental to the metabolism of these ...

UNHB : Unstable hemoglobin disease is rare and may be caused by any 1 of a large number of hemoglobin variants. They are inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. The severity of the disease varies according to the hemoglobin variant; there may be no clinical symptoms or the disease may produce a mild, moderate, or severe hemolytic anemia.   The stained peripheral blood smear shows anisocytosis, poikilocytosis, basophilic stippling, polychromasia and, sometimes, hypochromia. The reticulocyte count may be increased. Splenomegaly and Heinz bodies may also be present.

When WHO has laid down correct Terminology [34 35], we find reputable publications/Guidelines riddled with confusion, most glaringly confusing Sickle Cell Trait with Sickle Cell Disease [36-40], and sometimes describing both Trait and Disease phenotypes in same person - [41] all of which mistakes have been exposed [42-49]. Doyen of Abnormal Haemoglobins Professor Hermann Lehmann FRS wrote to The Times-London [50] that Sickle Cell Traits had run at Olympic Games at Mexico City 7000 ft and won Gold Medals, yet reports of Sickle Cell Traits dying at 4000ft continued, ensuring Insurance Companies made huge profits. [51 52]. Sickle Cell Trait: One Normal beta haemoglobin gene A plus 1 Abnormal haemoglobin gene S - phenotype AS with A greater than S. Traits have 3 ranges of S haemoglobin 20-28%, 30-35%, and 37-39.7% [53]. Always quantify Haemoglobin S to be sure. When S exceeds A it is not Trait.

Hemoglobin E trait is caused by a gene defect. This gene defect is passed down from 1 of your parents. It is not a disease. It does not usually cause any health problems. It can cause smaller-than-normal red blood cells. When inherited from both parents, or with other abnormal hemoglobin genes, it can cause anemia and other problems. If you inherited the defect from both parents or from 1 parent and a different abnormal hemoglobin from the other parent, it can cause problems, such as: ...

By introducing an additional H-bond in the alpha(1)beta(2) subunit interface or altering the charge properties of the amino acid residues in the alpha(1)beta(1) subunit interface of the hemoglobin molecule, we have designed and expressed recombinant hemoglobins (rHbs) with low oxygen affinity and high cooperativity. Oxygen-binding measurements of these rHbs under various experimental conditions show interesting properties in response to pH (Bohr effect) and allosteric effectors. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance studies show that these rHbs can switch from the oxy (or CO) quaternary structure (R) to the deoxy quaternary structure (T) without changing their ligation states upon addition of an allosteric effector, inositol hexaphosphate, and/or reduction of the ambient temperature. These results indicate that if we can provide extra stability to the T state of the hemoglobin molecule without perturbing its R state, we can produce hemoglobins with low oxygen affinity and high cooperativity. Some of these

We have used isoelectric focusing to measure the differences between the pI values of various normal and mutant human haemoglobins when completely deoxygenated and when fully liganded with CO. It was assumed that the ΔpI(deox.-ox.) values might correspond quantitatively to the intrinsic alkaline Bohr effect, as most of the anionic cofactors of the haemoglobin molecule are stripped off during the electrophoretic process. In haemoglobins known to exhibit a normal Bohr coefficient (ΔlogP50/ΔpH) in solutions, the ΔpI(deox.-ox.) values are lower the higher their respective pI(ox.) values. This indicates that for any particular haemoglobin the ΔpI(deox.-ox.) value accounts for the difference in surface charges at the pH of its pI value. This was confirmed by measuring, by the direct-titration technique, the difference in pH of deoxy and fully liganded haemoglobin A0 (α2β2) solutions in conditions approximating those of the isoelectric focusing, i.e. at 5°C and very low concentration of KCl. ...

Hyde Park is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the town of Hyde Park, Dutchess County, New York, United States.[1] Its population was 1,908 as of the 2010 census.[2] The hamlet of Hyde Park is on the western side of the town of Hyde Park, bordered on the west by the Hudson River. The northern edge of the hamlet is Crum Elbow Creek, a tributary of the Hudson. On the north side of the creek, just outside the hamlet, is the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site.

Hemoglobin F (Hb F) is the dominant hemoglobin at birth but is gradually replaced by adult hemoglobin (Hb A) during the year after birth (normal value ≤1% of total hemoglobin after age 2). Increased Hb F levels may continue after the neonatal period and into adulthood for various reasons. Genetic causes include deletional and nondeletional forms of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) and delta-beta thalassemia mutations. Over 100 mutations have been described in the gamma genes and, if detectable, the protein expression will vary over time according to the overall Hb F expression. Gamma globin mutations can manifest either as a quantitative (gamma thalassemia or nondeletional HPFH) or a qualitative (gamma variant) abnormality. Nondeletional HPFH mutations frequently modulate the expected severity of sickling disorders due to the inhibitory properties of Hb F on sickle formation. Many gamma chain variants are benign, although some, such as unstable, high- and low-oxygen affinity, ...

Iron deficiency can lower the percentage of hemoglobin A2, which may mask a concurrent β-thalassemia. An MCV/RBC less than 14 is highly suggestive of β-thalassemia.. If using the value of hemoglobin A2 has a key indicator of β-thalassemia, it is crucial to exclude the presence of hemoglobin A2′. This delta chain variant is clinically benign but will be present at equal concentration to hemoglobin A2; to obtain an accurate value of delta chain concentrations, hemoglobins A2 and A2′ must be added together. It can be difficult to visualize hemoglobin A2′ on EP or IEF since the percentage is small and it coelutes with hemoglobin S on HPLC.. Glycated hemoglobin S elutes with hemoglobin A2 on HPLC and may falsely elevate the value of hemoglobin A2, leading to erroneous suspicion of β-thalassemia.. Finally, β-thalassemias may mask the presence of a mutant hemoglobin if the thalassemia completely suppresses expression of the mutant gene. It is important to ascertain the correct disease state, ...

Hemoglobin deficiency can be caused either by a decreased amount of hemoglobin molecules, as in anemia, or by decreased ability of each molecule to bind oxygen at the same partial pressure of oxygen. Hemoglobinopathies (genetic defects resulting in abnormal structure of the hemoglobin molecule)[77] may cause both. In any case, hemoglobin deficiency decreases blood oxygen-carrying capacity. Hemoglobin deficiency is, in general, strictly distinguished from hypoxemia, defined as decreased partial pressure of oxygen in blood,[78][79][80][81] although both are causes of hypoxia (insufficient oxygen supply to tissues). Other common causes of low hemoglobin include loss of blood, nutritional deficiency, bone marrow problems, chemotherapy, kidney failure, or abnormal hemoglobin (such as that of sickle-cell disease). The ability of each hemoglobin molecule to carry oxygen is normally modified by altered blood pH or CO2, causing an altered oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve. However, it can also be ...

The functional electrical stimulation bike provides a cardio workout, increases muscle tone and keeps the blood circulating for people with paralysis and neuromuscular diseases.. CRANSTON, R.I. - Six days a week, Gary Balletto heads to the YMCA for an intense, hour-long bike workout. But this is no regular bike workout; Balletto, a former boxing champion who was partly paralyzed in an accident in his Cranston backyard in 2013, has no movement in his legs or core.. A specialized bicycle shoots an electrical current into his leg muscles, enabling him to pedal. That [current is] what will get the muscle to contract, to get the bike to move, says Ashley Coulter, the health and wellness director for the YMCA of Greater Providences Cranston branch.

Hemoglobin variants, ABO and Rhesus blood groups vary from one population to another. The study was designed to sample pregnant women population from Ayetoro community of Ogun state, Nigeria, for the purpose of updating information on the prevalence of abnormal hemoglobin variants, ABO and Rh blood groups and compare the results with previously published data. Hospital records of recruited pregnant women were sorted out for the determination of the prevalence of hemoglobin variants, ABO and Rh blood groups. Blood group O were the most prevalent (59.1%) followed by groups A (19.1%), B (17.1%) and AB (4.8%). Rhesus D antigen was positive in 97.1% and negative in 2.9% of the study population. Four genotypes; HbAA (70.5%), HbAS (18.1%), HbAC (10.5%) and HbCC (1.0%) were reported in this study. The occurrence of the hemoglobin variants and the different ABO blood groups varied significantly (p

TY - JOUR. T1 - Erythrocyte alterations in hemoglobin H disease. AU - Szelényi, J.. AU - Lelkes, G.. AU - Horányi, M.. AU - Földi, J.. AU - Szász, I.. AU - Hollán, S.. PY - 1981. Y1 - 1981. N2 - This study on erythrocytes in hemoglobin H (Hb-H) disease reveals that unstable Hb-H is bound to membranes to a greater extent, especially when it forms methemoglobin or is precipitated as an inclusion body. The methemoglobin content of these erythrocytes is elevated in spite of a higher activity of NADH-methemoglobin reductase. The ATPase activity is doubled and ATP is presumably used for phosphorylation of membrane proteins, which leads to cross-linking of membrane proteins. This assumption could be supported by the observed decrease in non-electrolyte permeability, by increased binding of hemoglobin to the membrane, and polymerisation of membrane proteins detected by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. By means of electron microscopy, it could also be shown that the inclusion bodies are bound ...

We have reported these cases to highlight new treatment modalities for cholestasis in hemoglobinopathies and stimulate the search for the etiopathogenesis. The prevalence of hemoglobinopathies varies with geographic locations and ethnic groups in India. Among the clinically important hemoglobinopathies (Hb S, Hb D, Hb E and beta thalassemia), hemoglobin E (Hb E) is mostly restricted to the North-eastern Indian states with an average allele frequency of 10.9% [6]. In a large multicenter study in India, HbD trait was more common among Sikhs (1.4%) and few individuals with HbD homozygous, HbD-β-thalassemia, HbD Iran trait, HbQ India trait, and Hb Lepore trait were also encountered at the different centers [7].. Heterozygous Hb D-Punjab is a clinically silent condition, but coinheritance of Hb D with Hb S or beta thalassemia produces clinically significant conditions like sickle cell anemia and chronic hemolytic anemia of moderate severity [8].

As seen on the figure above does the oxygen saturation change very little when pO2 is between 80 and 100 mmHg. Its only when pO2 becomes lower than 80 that the saturation starts to decrease significantly and rapidly.. When oxygenated blood has reached an area that requires oxygen will the oxygen that is dissolved in the blood diffuse across the capillary wall to the interstitium. Oxygen in the interstitium is then taken up by the cells. Oxygen will then dissociate from haemoglobin to refill the dissolved oxygen in the blood that was just emptied.. In the veins is the oxygen saturation only 75%, which equals 40 mmHg of pO2, as seen on the figure above. Arterial blood contains 20 mL oxygen per 100 mL blood, while venous blood contains 15 mL O2 per 100 mL blood. The difference is only 5 mL. Oxygen content of blood can also be expressed as a volume percentage. For example, 20% of arterial blood is oxygen, while 15% of venous blood is oxygen. Because of this we can also write the difference ...

Sickle Cell Disease is a genetically inherited blood disorder prevalent among people of African, Caribbean, Central/South American, East Indian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Asian and Southeast Asian ancestry. Sickle cell trait and disease is indigenous to all these populations because of malaria.

A large number (,800) of variants of hemoglobin (Hb) have been recognized. They are identified by capital letters (eg, Hb A or Hb S), or by the city in which the variant was first discovered (eg, Hb Koln).. Mayo Medical Laboratories receives specimens for this test from a wide geographic area and nearly one-half of all specimens received exhibit abnormalities. The most common abnormality is an increase in Hb A2 to about 4% to 8%, which is diagnostic of beta-thalassemia minor. A wide variety of other hemoglobinopathies also have been encountered. Ranked in order of relative frequency, these are: Hb S (sickle cell disease and trait), C, E, Lepore, G-Philadelphia, H, D-Los Angeles, Koln, Constant Spring, O-Arab, and others. Hb C and S are found mostly in people from west or central Africa and Hb E and H in people from Southeast Asia. Hemoglobin electrophoresis is often used in the evaluation of unexplained microcytosis, thus accounting for the frequent detection of Hb Lepore, which is relatively ...

In S trait, the percentage of hemoglobin S (roughly 35%) is not usually sufficient to cause significant sickling, and the condition is relatively benign. With hemoglobin O-Arab, there is no tendency to sickle, even in the homozygous state. It is the interaction between these two singly-substituted hemoglobins S (ß6 Glu → Val) and O-Arab (ß121 Glu → Lys) that forms insoluble copolymers with a different shape to SS polymers. Characteristically, RBC indices are normal in this condition, which helps differentiate it from SC disease and SS disease. There are very few actual sickle shaped cells, rather the cells have a flattened aspect and are described as folded, similar in shape to the microcytic cells seen in S/C disease.. The distinction between hemoglobin S/O-Arab and the more common hemoglobin S/C disease is often a difficult call from the laboratory viewpoint. In both instances, the variant hemoglobins are present in equal relative percentages once the hemoglobin F is subtracted. ...

APN) ATLANTA - An emergency plan appears to be coming together for the former Grady Hospital dialysis patients who were set to lose their care today, Atlanta Progressive News has learned.. 38 former Grady Hospital patients are still receiving dialysis from Fresenius under a temporary contract between Grady and the private dialysis provider. Grady had agreed to pay Fresenius to provide dialysis for the patients through August 31, 2010. At first, Grady did not even want to honor that contract-and had set earlier deadlines for the patients to find other care options-but it has honored it, under pressure from advocates, attorneys, and international human rights organizations..

Dorothy Leone-Glasser, leader of GARC, told APN that they had requested assistance from ...

Smallpox struck New Tacoma, a recently platted town encompassing much of what later became downtown Tacoma, in October 1881. The outbreak sickened an official count of 80 people and killed 14 by the time it ended that December. It also divided the local medical community, inspired the creation of the citys board of health, and provided a new role for the veteran Mosquito Fleet steamer Alida.. A Fearsome Disease. The disease came just as business prospects were looking up for New Tacoma. Platted in 1875 to provide a town at the chosen site of the Northern Pacific Railroad terminus, it had been in competition with the original Tacoma settlement, located three miles to the northwest in what is now the Old Town neighborhood, ever since. In 1880 Pierce County voters named New Tacoma the county seat, replacing Steilacoom and further salting the wounds of the original Tacoma City, afterward inevitably referred to as Old Tacoma. (The two separate towns were merged in 1884 into the single city of ...

Since the 1950s, reports have been published stating that hepatitis is one of the causes of liver disease in individuals with sickle-cell anemia (20,21). With the demonstration that the C virus was the major etiologic agent of post-transfusional hepatitis (2,22), patients with sickle-cell anemia started to be considered as a population at high risk to acquire HCV infection (23), as demonstrated by the frequency of HCV infection in the world population in general, which is estimated at 3% (24), while the frequency of HCV infection among patients with sickle-cell anemia submitted to transfusion of blood or blood derivatives reported in the literature ranges from 2 to 30% (5-11). However, molecular biology tests confirming viremia and permitting characterization of HCV genotype are scarce in patients with sickle-cell anemia (18,19), an important factor when treatment of infection is indicated (13). In the present study, a high prevalence (14.1%) of HCV infection was detected among these ...

Hemoglobin File was also uncovered to obtain a special amino acid sequence, without a doubt developing a distinctive chain, the g (gamma) chain in place of the b chain, throughout almost all of fetal life (for more specifics see Stryer, p. 154). Then, in the early nineteen fifties two other hemoglobin-based mostly conditions, designated Hemoglobin C and Hemoglobin D, had been identified by Harvey Itano in two individual family members. These hemoglobins ended up also discovered to own different eletrophoretic mobilities and distinctive amino acid sequences, along with exclusive physiological outcomes (not as intense, having said that, as sickle cell hemoglobin). To learn more about other hemoglobinopathies, click the subsequent Internet site Taken with each other, these illustrations all supported the final paradigm that mutations generated alterations from the amino acid sequence of proteins that, in turn, experienced substantial consequences over the proteins purpose. This type of official ...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a blood disorder caused by a point mutation on the beta globin gene resulting in the synthesis of abnormal hemoglobin. Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) reduces disease severity, but the levels vary from one individual to another. Most research has focused on common variants which differ across populations and hence do not fully account for HbF variation. To investigate rare and common variants influencing HbF levels in SCD, we performed targeted next generation sequencing covering exonic and other significant fetal hemoglobin-associated loci, including BCL11A, MYB, HOXA9, HBB, HBG1, HBG2, CHD4, KLF1, MBD3, ZBTB7A and PGLYRP1. Results revealed a range of functionally relevant genetic variants. Notably, there were significantly more deletions in individuals with high HbF levels (11% vs 0.9%). We identified frameshift deletion in individuals with high HbF levels and frameshift insertions in individuals with low HbF. CHD4 and MBD3 genes, interacting in the same sub-network, were

To compare the maternal and fetal outcomes between pregnant women complicated with hemoglobin E (HbE) trait and normal controls. A retrospective cohort study was conducted by assessment of the database of maternal-fetal medicine units from January 2003 to December 2013 to identify singleton pregnant women complicated by HbE trait. Pregnancies with medical complications or fetal anomalies were excluded. The normal controls were low-risk pregnancies and were non-carrier status for thalassemia and hemoglobinopathy. During the study period, 1073 women with HbE trait and 2146 normal controls were included. The baseline characteristics of the two groups were comparable except that the number of prenatal visit was statistically higher in study group (8.55 ± 3.03 versus 7.85 ± 4.33, p = ,0.001). Most pregnancy outcomes were not significantly different. However, the rate of asymptomatic bacteriuria was minimally higher in the study group, 3.5% versus 2.3%; p = 0.042 (relative risk 1.19; 95%CI: ...

AIMS--To compare high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with conventional methods for the estimation of blood haemoglobin A2 (HbA2) and haemoglobin F (HbF) concentrations in routine thalassemia screening. METHODS--An HPLC system (the VARIANT Hemoglobin Testing System) was tested for precision and reproducibility in the measurement of HbA2 and HbF, and reference ranges were obtained for a local healthy adult population. HPLC was compared with column anion exchange chromatography for HbA2 measurement, and radial immunodiffusion, or alkaline denaturation for HbF measurement. The reliability of HbA2 measurement by HPLC for the detection of beta thalassaemia and HbE was assessed in 200 consecutive samples for routine thalassaemia screening. RESULTS--HPLC was rapid, technically easy, and gave good precision and reproducibility. In all comparisons linear regression analysis showed good correlation between HbA2 or HbF concentrations determined by HPLC and by the respective conventional methods. ...

Literature References: Hb; ferrohemoglobin. The major component of red blood cells which transports oxygen from the lungs to body tissues and facilitates the return transport of carbon dioxide. Mammalian hemoglobins have mol wts of about 64,500. Composed of four peptide chains called globins, each of which is bound to a heme, q.q.v. Normal human hemoglobin is composed of a pair of two identical chains. Iron is coordinated to four pyrrole nitrogens of protoporphyrin IX, and to an imidazole nitrogen of a histidine residue from the globin side of the porphyrin. The sixth coordination position is available for binding with oxygen and other small molecules. Called oxyhemoglobin, HbO2, in the oxygenated form and carboxyhemoglobin, HbCO, when oxygen is displaced by carbon monoxide. Binds reversibly with oxygen while the heme iron remains in the ferrous state. Autoxidation is prevented by the cover of hydrophobic groups of the globin. When the iron in hemoglobin is oxidized from the ferrous to the ...
