摘要
In order to determine the prevalence and molecular characterization of hemoglobinopathies in the Wuxi region of Jiangsu Province in the People's Republic of China (PRC), a total of 10,297 healthy people selected from a regional hospital were screened. Hemoglobin (Hb) electrophoresis, complete blood cell (CBC) count, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, reverse dot-blot and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) were used to detect Hb variants, thalassemias and hereditary persistence of fetal Hb (HPFH). Two thousand and twenty-one adult subjects were screened for thalassemia, five cases were identified as alpha-thalassemia (alpha-thal) carriers including three cases of the -alpha(3.7) (rightward) deletion, one case of the --(SEA) deletion and one case of beta-thal [IVS-II-654 (C>T), (HBB: c.316-197C> T)]. The incidence of Hb variants, thalassemia and HPFH/delta beta-thal were 0.136% (14/10,297), 0.25% (5/2021) and 0.0001% (1/10,297), respectively. Eight genotypes of Hb variants were found, including Hb E [beta 26(B8) Glu -> Lys, GAG>AAG; HBB: c. 79G>A], Hb J-Bangkok [beta 56(D7) Gly -> Asp (GGC> GAC); HBB; c. 170G> A], Hb G-Coushatta [beta 22(4) Glu! Ala (GAA> GCA); HBB: c. 68A> C], Hb Queens [alpha 34(B15) Leu -> Arg (CTG> CGG) (alpha 2 or alpha 1); HBA2: c.104T> G (or HBA1)], Hb I [alpha 16(A14) Lys -> Glu, AAG> GAG (alpha 1); HBA1: c.49A> G], Hb Beijing [alpha 16(A14) Lys -> Asn (AAG> AAC or AAT) (alpha 2 or alpha 1); HBA2: c.51G> C (or HBA1) or 51G> T (or HBA1)], Hb Ube- 2 [alpha 68(E17) Asn -> Asp (AAC> GAC) (alpha 2 or alpha 1); HBA2: c. 205A> G (or HBA1)] and Hb G-Taipei [beta 22(B4) Glu -> Gly (GAA> GGA); HBB: c.68A> G]. A Sicilian delta beta(0)-thal, identified for the first time in Asia, was also found in this survey.
