Hematologic responses to hypomethylating agents are often delayed in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. Fetal hemoglobin is a potential novel bio-marker of response: recently, we demonstrated that a high fetal hemoglobin ...

Whole transcriptome analysis of human erythropoietic cells during ontogenesis suggests a role of VEGFA gene as modulator of fetal hemoglobin and pharmacogenomic biomarker of treatment response to hydroxyurea in β-type hemoglobinopathy patients [PDF]
Background: Human erythropoiesis is characterized by distinct gene expression profiles at various developmental stages. Previous studies suggest that fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch is regulated by a complex mechanism, in which many key players still ...

Imbalanced globin chain output contributes to thalassemia pathophysiology. Hence, induction of fetal hemoglobin in β-thalassemia and other β-hemoglobinopathies are of continuing interest for therapeutic approaches.

Acute fetal anemia diagnosed by middle cerebral artery Doppler velocimetry in stage v twin-twin transfusion syndrome. [PDF]
In stage V twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), up to 50% of surviving twins die or experience permanent disabilities, likely due to acute intertwin hemorrhage resulting in sudden severe anemia of the survivor.

Effect of hydroxyurea on G gamma chain fetal hemoglobin synthesis by sickle-cell disease patients
Hydroxyurea is used for sickle-cell disease patients in order to increase fetal hemoglobin synthesis and consequently decrease the severity of pain episodes.

Evaluation of Glycated Albumin (GA) and GA/Hba1c Ratio for Diagnosis of Diabetes and Glycemic Control: A Comprehensive Review [PDF]
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic high blood glucose concentrations (hyperglycemia). When it is left untreated or improperly managed, it can lead to acute complications including diabetic ketoacidosis and ...

Hydroxyurea ameliorates mouse hypoxia through inducing embryonic hemoglobin
Objective To investigate the ameliorative effect and mechanism of hydroxyurea (HU) on hypoxia mice in a closed environment. Methods Sixty male C57BL/6J mice (6~8 weeks old, weighing 18~22 g) were randomly divided into normoxia control group (NC, n=10 ...
