Structure of Fibers of Sickle Cell Hemoglobin [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1973
Electron microscope studies have been conducted on individual fibers of human deoxyhemoglobin S (sickle cell hemoglobin). The fibers are obtained by injection of gelled samples into a large excess of glutaraldehyde, which quickly stabilizes the fibers by cross-linking.

The LSD1 inhibitor RN-1 recapitulates the fetal pattern of hemoglobin synthesis in baboons (P. anubis)

Haematologica, 2016
Increased fetal hemoglobin levels lessen the severity of symptoms and increase the lifespan of patients with sickle cell disease. Hydroxyurea, the only drug currently approved for the treatment of sickle cell disease, is not effective in a large ...

MRI Proton Density Fat Fraction as a Biomarker of Marrow Recovery Following Organ‐Sparing Total Marrow Irradiation in Sickle Cell Disease

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Noninvasive quantitative assessment of marrow recovery after curative therapies such as total marrow irradiation (TMI) and bone marrow transplantation (BMT) remain poorly defined, particularly in sickle cell disease (SCD). Purpose To evaluate MRI‐derived proton density fat fraction (PDFF) as a biomarker of marrow recovery following ...

Prenatal Exome Sequencing Identifies Dual Maternal‐Fetal Diagnosis of HbF Mission Bay, a Novel HBG2 Variant Associated With Methemoglobinemia, Hypoxia and Hemolytic Anemia

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prenatal exome sequencing (ES) can establish rare genetic diagnoses in a fetus but may also lead to occult genetic diagnosis in a biological parent. We present a case of dual fetal and maternal diagnosis by prenatal ES, in a fetus with unexplained anemia and in a pregnant patient with sickle cell disease (SCD) and recurrent unexplained hypoxia.
