TALEN-Mediated Gene Editing of HBG in Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells Leads to Therapeutic Fetal Hemoglobin Induction

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2019
Elements within the γ-hemoglobin promoters (HBG1 and HBG2) function to bind transcription complexes that mediate repression of fetal hemoglobin expression. Sickle cell disease (SCD) subjects with a 13-bp deletion in the HBG1 promoter exhibit a clinically

Hemoglobin Non-equilibrium Oxygen Dissociation Curve [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Abnormal hemoglobins can have major consequences for tissue delivery of oxygen. Correct diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies with altered oxygen affinity requires a determination of hemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve (ODC), which relates the hemoglobin oxygen saturation to the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood.

Transcriptional Repressors of Fetal Globin Genes as Novel Therapeutic Targets in Beta-Thalassemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
During development the human β-globin gene cluster undergoes two switching processes at the embryo-fetal and fetal-adult stages, respectively, involving changes in chromatin remodeling and in transcriptional regulatory networks. In particular, during the

Association of HMIP1 C-893A polymorphism and disease severity in patients with sickle cell anemia

open access: yesHematology, Transfusion and Cell Therapy, 2021
Introduction: Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a Mendelian disorder with a heterogeneous clinical course. The reasons for this phenotypic diversity are not entirely established, but it is known that high fetal hemoglobin levels lead to a milder course of the ...

Premarital screening of 466 Mediterranean women for serum ferritin, vitamin B12, and folate concentrations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background/aim: Iron, folate, and vitamin B12 serum levels are closely related with dietary habits and have an essential role in the healthy development of a fetus.

Comment on "Twisted Protein Aggregates and Disease: The Stability of Sickle Hemoglobin Fibers" [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
Aggregates of twisted protein fibers, such as sickle hemoglobin and actin, are important examples of biopolymers in which elastic interactions play a crucial role in determining the (metastable) bundle radii. Here, we present a corrected version of analysis on the stability of sickle hemoglobin fibers using the classic nucleation theory.

BCL11A deletions result in fetal hemoglobin persistence and neurodevelopmental alterations.

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2015
A transition from fetal hemoglobin (HbF) to adult hemoglobin (HbA) normally occurs within a few months after birth. Increased production of HbF after this period of infancy ameliorates clinical symptoms of the major disorders of adult β-hemoglobin: β ...

Study of Pregnancy Outcome in E-Beta Thalassaemia Mothers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Forty eight E-Beta thalassaemia patients were studied in NRS Medical College, Kolkata, West Bengal during the period from 2000-2006. In all patients Hb% ranged from 5.2g% - 9.6g%.

Localised IR spectroscopy of hemoglobin [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
IR absorption spectroscopy of hemoglobin was performed using an IR optical parametric oscillator laser and a commercial atomic force microscope in a novel experimental arrangement based on the use of a bottom-up excitation alignment. This experimental approach enables detection of protein samples with a resolution that is much higher than that of ...
