Beta‐globin gene cluster haplotypes in Afro‐Uruguayans from two geographical regions (South and North)
The β‐globin gene cluster haplotypes were identified in 52 and 40 chromosomes from two Afro‐Uruguayan populations located in the South and North of the country, respectively. In both regions, the 5′ haplotype 2 (+ − − − −), characteristic of non‐African populations, was the most frequent, reflecting a strong process of admixture in Afro‐Uruguayans (0.355 and 0.262, respectively). The haplotypes 3 (− − − − +) and 4 (− + − − +), characteristics of …
Clinical, hematological, and molecular characterization of sickle cell anemia pediatric patients from two different cities in Brazil
This study focused on clinical, hematological, and molecular aspects of sickle cell anemia pediatric patients from two different cites in Brazil. Seventy-one patients from São Paulo and Salvador, aged 3 to 18 years, were evaluated. Hematological analyses, betaS globin gene haplotypes, and alpha2 3.7kb-thalassemia were performed. Numbers of hospitalizations due to vaso-occlusive crises, infections, stroke, and cholelithiasis were investigated. São…
ABO blood group in Amerindians from Brazilian Amazon
The different O alleles including the G542A mutation are not distributed homogeneously among all Amazonian Amerindians. Our results are in agreement with other genetic markers studied previously in Parakanã Indians, whose distinct genetic pattern differs from Europeans and even from other Amerindians
Haplotypes of α‐globin gene regulatory element in two Brazilian native populations
The α‐major regulatory element (α‐MRE), located 40 Kb far upstream of the α‐globin gene cluster on chromosome 16, is involved in the regulation of human α‐globin genes expression. The activity of this element is restricted to a 350‐bp fragment in which several nuclear protein binding sites have been identified. This element is genetically polymorphic and different haplotypes, named A–F, have been determined in seven populations of Europe, Africa,…
