HLA heterozygote advantage against HIV-1 is driven by quantitative and qualitative differences in HLA allele-specific peptide presentation

open access: yes, 2020
Pathogen-mediated balancing selection is regarded as a key driver of host immunogenetic diversity. A hallmark for balancing selection in humans is the heterozygote advantage at genes of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA), resulting in improved HIV-1 ...

Identification of a Danish breast/ovarian cancer family double heterozygote for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Mutations in the two breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are associated with increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Patients with mutations in both genes are rarely reported and often involve Ashkenazi founder mutations.

First Report of Co‐Inheritance of Hemoglobin British Columbia (HBB:c.304G>A) and β‐Thalassemia IVS‐I‐6 (HBB:c.92+6T>C): Clinical Characterization of an Iranian Case

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hemoglobin British Columbia is a rare high‐oxygen‐affinity β‐globin variant caused by the HBB:c.304G>A substitution. Its detection is exceptionally uncommon, particularly in the Middle East, and may lead to diagnostic pitfalls when relying solely on hemoglobin separation techniques.

Histological skin changes in heterozygote carriers of mutations in ABCC6, the gene causing pseudoxanthoma elasticum

open access: yes, 2007
International audienceBackground: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is related to mutations in the ABCC6 gene and characterized pathologically by dystrophic and mineralized elastic fibres.

Performance Evaluation of a Premier Resolution HPLC System for Detecting Hemoglobin Constant Spring, Hemoglobin Paksé, and Coexisting α‐ and β‐Thalassemia Mutations

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study compared Premier Resolution HPLC with Capillary Electrophoresis for detecting HbCS/Hb Paksé variants and coexisting thalassemia mutations. Premier Resolution HPLC demonstrated superior performance with 50% fewer false negative cases (11 vs. 22) compared to Capillary Electrophoresis, particularly in heterozygous cases.

A translocation heterozygote in garden Canna

open access: yes, 1966
A case of translocation heterozygosity has been discovered in gardenCanna. Morphologically the heterozygote is distinctive, being a pygmy type with small flowers which do not open. Cytologically it shows a ring or a chain of 4 plus 7 bivalents.

Beta‐Thalassemia in Spain: Results From the National Thalassemia Registry and Molecular Analysis of Patients With Transfusion‐Dependent Thalassemia

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This nationwide registry‐based study describes the clinical and molecular characteristics of 78 patients with transfusion‐dependent beta‐thalassemia in Spain. Comprehensive genetic analysis revealed marked molecular heterogeneity, with 24 HBB mutations identified and a predominance of β0 genotypes, alongside generally effective transfusion and iron ...
