Hb H disease
0.400 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Our study showed that in most of the alpha thalassemia carriers just one copy of alpha globin gene was absent and they are not at risk of having children with Hb H disease or hydrops fetalis; however, up to 2.2% of neonates were carriers for ααα(anti3.7) triplication and they will be at risk for having a child with thalassemia intermediate if they marry a person which is a carrier of beta thalassemia. 24074530 2014

Hb H disease
0.400 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Seven unrelated patients with hemoglobin (Hb) H disease and 27 individuals with alpha-chain structural alterations were studied to identify the alpha-globin gene mutations present in the population of Southeast Brazil. 10973135 2000

Disease: Hb H disease
Hb H disease
0.400 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Haemoglobin H (Hb H) disease is the severest form of alpha-thalassaemia compatible with post-natal life and occurs when alpha-thalassaemia mutations interact to reduce alpha-globin synthesis to levels approximately equivalent to the output of a single alpha-globin gene. 11122156 2000

Hb H disease
0.400 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The results confirm the importance of the alpha 2 alpha 1-mRNA for the synthesis of alpha chains in alpha-thalassemia-2 homozygotes (-alpha/-alpha) and in patients with Hb H disease due to the deletion of three alpha-globin genes (-alpha/--). 8611658 1996
CUI: C3841459

Hb H disease
0.400 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The study depended on (a) most of the Hb H disease in Taiwan having an alpha-thalassemia-1 of the Southeast Asia type (--SEA) in one allele and (b) the differences of X box of alpha-globin gene cluster in the other allele. 8110877 1994
