چکیده

A genomic fragment containing the hemoglobin gene dmhb4 of Daphnia magna was cloned and its nucleotide sequence determined. Concerning induction under hypoxic conditions, dmhb4 was found to be expressed constitutively with similar mRNA quantities in D. magna bred in either normoxic or hypoxic medium. Southern blot analysis revealed at least six hemoglobin-like sequences in the genome of Daphnia magna.

Hemoglobin Daneshgah-Tehran (HBA1:c.218A>G p.His72Arg): a Rare α1-Globin Variant from Iran

There are more than 400 different variations on α-globin protein, and most of them are not associated with noticeable clinical manifestation. Hemoglobin (Hb) is an oxygen-transporting protein and Hb Daneshgah- Tehran is an α-globin variant that for the first time was reported from Iran in a case with normal haematological indices. The capillary electrophoresis of an 8-year- old-girl with normal...

Analysis of Methylation Status in Promoter Region of Γ- Globin Gene in Carrier and Affected Β-Thalassemia Patients with High Level of Fetal Hemoglobin in Comparison with Normal Individuals

Introduction: Among the factors that may be associated with the re-expression gamma-globin in adults is the methylation pattern of the promoter region. The study aimed to determine the association between promoter methylation pattern of the gamma-globin gene in the carriers and affected beta-thalassemia individuals and its expression levels. Methods: This study has been done as a case control-...

Heterozygosis deficit of polymorphic markers linked to the β-globin gene cluster region in the Iranian population

Objective(s): Iran is considered as one of the high-prevalence areas for β-thalassemia with a rate of about 10% carrier frequency. Molecular diagnosis of the disease is performed both by direct sequencing and indirectly by the use of polymorphic markers present in the beta globin gene cluster. However, to date there is no reliable information on the application of the markers in the Iranian pop...
