DELTA-BETA-THALASSEMIA

Alternate names

DELTA-BETA-THALASSEMIA Is also known as hemoglobin f, hereditary persistence of, hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin, hb gene cluster-related, hpfh

Description

Delta-beta-thalassemia is a form of beta-thalassemia (see this term) characterized by decreased or absent synthesis of the delta- and beta-globin chains with a compensatory increase in expression of fetal gamma-chain synthesis.

Most common symptoms of DELTA-BETA-THALASSEMIA

  • Anemia
  • Hemolytic anemia
  • Postural instability
  • Microcytic anemia
  • Abnormality of blood and blood-forming tissues

HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF FETAL HEMOGLOBIN-BETA-THALASSEMIA SYNDROME

Alternate names

HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF FETAL HEMOGLOBIN-BETA-THALASSEMIA SYNDROME Is also known as hpfh-beta-thalassemia syndrome

Description

Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) associated with beta-thalassemia (see this term) is characterized by high hemoglobin (Hb) F levels and an increased number of fetal-Hb-containing-cells.

Most common symptoms of HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF FETAL HEMOGLOBIN-BETA-THALASSEMIA SYNDROME

  • Anemia
  • Hepatomegaly
  • Splenomegaly
  • Pallor
  • Persistence of hemoglobin F

Alternate names

HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF FETAL HEMOGLOBIN-SICKLE CELL DISEASE SYNDROME Is also known as hpfh-sickle cell disease syndrome

Description

A rare, genetic, hemoglobinopathy characterized by generally mild clinical phenotype, high fetal hemoglobin levels and mild microcytosis and hypochromia. In some cases, acute sickle cell disease manifestations were reported, namely acute chest syndrome and acute pain crisis.
