The Spectrum of Mutations in 100 Thalassemic Carriers Referred to Ghaem Hospital of Mashhad

Abstract Background Thalassemia is common in the Iranian population, and it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of the microcytic hypochromic anemia. The molecular analysis of β-thalassemia is necessary for prenatal molecular diagnosis. Α-thalassemia caused by loss of function of either one of the two duplicated α-globin genes or in less frequent non deletion mutations mostly loc...

استفاده از مولتی پلکس PCR در شناسایی حذف های شایع ژن آلفاگلوبین در حاملین آلفا تالاسمی

Background and Aim:-thalassemia is the most common inherited disorder of hemoglobin (Hb) synthesis in the world. Alpha thalassemia most frequently results from the loss of one (- ) or both (- -) of the duplicated  genes () on chromosome 16. Carriers of deletional forms of -thalassemia (-/- /-, or --/) are clinically normal but have a mild hypochromic, microcytic anemia. C...

Co-inheritance of --MED double gene deletion and αααAnti3.7 triplication on α-globin gene in Mazandaran at 2016

Alpha Thalassemia is one of the most prevalent disorders worldwide with a [T1] high carrier rate in Mazandaran province (north of Iran). Carriers of --MED double gene deletion are at risk of having a child with hemoglobin  haemoglobin[T2]  H (HbH) disease, if they marry a silent carrier. Co-inheritance of αααAnti3.7 triplication that cannot be detected using hem...

Sequences in the A – intergenic region are not required for stage-specific regulation of the human -globin gene locus

The human -globin locus has been extensively studied as a model of tissue and developmental stage-specific gene expression. Structural mapping of naturally occurring mutations, including transfection and transgenic studies, and the recent finding of intergenic transcripts have suggested that there are cis-acting sequence elements in the A – intergenic region involved in regulating and -globin g...

Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms in Iranian Patients with Beta-Thalassemia Major

Background: β-thalassemia as a hereditary disease is defined as defective synthesis of   β-globin chains, resulting in erythropoiesis abnormalities and severe anemia. Different studies have shown that cytokines and cytokine gene polymorphisms play a major role in the pathogenesis of   β-thalassemia. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the promoter region or other regulatory sequences ...
