Hb J- Meerut [α 120 (H3) Ala ->Glu (α1)] In A Turkish Male
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hb J Meerut is an infrequently found alpha-globin variant. It has previously been reported in various populations around the world. One particular case reported in 1994 included a Turkish family. In this report, details of a second case of Hb J Meerut in a Turkish male who is unrelated to the first family are described. In the present case a slight increase in the oxygen affinity of Hb J Meerut, relative to that of the normal control, has been observed as detected by low p50 values in arterial whole blood. Additionally, a slight increase in red blood cell count, as compared against a normal individual, was observed.

متن کاملEvaluation of Alpha-Thalassemia Mutations in Cases with Hypochromic Microcytic Anemia: The İstanbul Perspective
OBJECTIVE Alpha thalassemia syndromes are caused by mutations on one or more of the four α-globin genes. Mutations could be either more commonly deletional or non-deletional. As some deletions (3.7 and 4.2) cause α+-thalassemia, some cause (-20.5, MED, THAI, FIL) α0 -thalassemia. The aim of this study was to determine alpha thalassemia mutations in patients with unsolved hypochromic microcytic ...

Imaging of angiogenic processes is of great interest in preclinical research as well as in clinical settings. The most commonly addressed target structure for imaging angiogenesis is the integrin α(v)β(3). Here we describe the synthesis and evaluation of [(18)F]FProp-Cys(*)-Arg-Arg-Glu-Thr-Ala-Trp-Ala-Cys(*)-OH, a radiolabelled peptide designed to selectively target the integrin α(5)β(1). Conju...
