Target cells in haemoglobinopathies.
نویسنده
چکیده
A semi-quantitative method of estimating the number of target cells in blood films has been developed. It has been applied to 250 films from normal persons, pregnant women, and patients with a variety of haemoglobinopathies. Allowing for the frequency of target cells found in normal films the results show that such an examination is of value in eliminating or suggesting certain haemoglobinopathies, but not in excluding the majority of the traits.

Background and aim: Induction of fetal hemoglobin (Hb-F) can improve the patients’ symptoms of haemoglobinopathies. Several factors can induce gamma globin gene expression and increased Hb-F levels in patients. In this study, the expression of genes is involved in regulation of gamma globin synthesis such as PIPKII-alpha BCL11a, and miR-30a during CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell differentiation i...
متن کاملFeasibility of DNA diagnosis of haemoglobinopathies on coelocentesis.
At 5-12 weeks of gestation the amniotic sac is surrounded by celomic fluid, which contains cells of fetal origin. This fluid can be sampled by celocentesis, which involves the ultrasound-guided insertion of a needle through the vagina. The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of prenatal diagnosis of haemoglobinopathies from the celomic fluid using a specific protocol. Celocentesis ...
متن کاملGene therapy for the haemoglobinopathies
The haemoglobinopathies have been among the first diseases to be considered for the development of gene therapy protocols. Initial attempts involved the transfer of the β-globin gene into established cell lines and later mouse models of the disease, by means of viral vectors. These attempts were not successful, due to various disadvantages of the vector system used, as well as to the complex re...
متن کاملGuidelines for the Diagnosis of the Haemoglobinopathies in Nigeria
The haemoglobinopathies are prevalent genetic disorders in Nigeria, it is therefore imperative that diagnosis is made accurately and promptly so that affected individuals can seek timely medical help. There is no structured modality for the investigation of the haemoglobinopathies in the country. Haemoglobin electrophoresis at alkaline pH is solely relied upon by both the secondary and tertiary...
متن کاملPrevalence of Heamoglobin Variants, ABO and Rhesus Blood Groups in Northern Uttar Pradesh, India
Hemoglobin variants are mutant forms of hemoglobin in a population , caused by variations in genetics. It’s occurring when there are genetic changes in specific genes, or globins that cause changes or alterations in the amino acid. Hemoglobin variants, ABO and Rhesus blood groups are known to vary from one population to another. Thus, there is need to elucidate the frequency of these indices in...
