Abstract
We report a novel δ-chain hemoglobin (Hb) variant, designated Hb A2-Malay [HBD:c.139G > C;316-443A > G], identified in 19 Malaysian Malay individuals. This variant was consistently observed in both Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) Zone 1 and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) S-window analyses. Sanger sequencing revealed a new G > C substitution at the first base of codon 46 within the HBD gene, leading to a glycine to arginine amino acid change. Additionally, a cis-acting polymorphism, an A to G substitution at intron II position 456, was genotyped in all carriers. Routine genetic testing for common α-thalassemia, using Gap-PCR and Amplification Refractory Mutation System, was also performed. Four carriers exhibiting similar hematological indices were found to have a concomitant heterozygous -α3.7 mutation. Furthermore, three βE carriers demonstrated higher Zone 1 and S-window percentages.
期刊介绍：
Hemoglobin is a journal in the English language for the communication of research and information concerning hemoglobin in humans and other species. Hemoglobin publishes articles, reviews, points of view
The journal covers topics such as:
structure, function, genetics and evolution of hemoglobins
biochemical and biophysical properties of hemoglobin molecules
characterization of hemoglobin disorders (variants and thalassemias),
consequences and treatment of hemoglobin disorders
epidemiology and prevention of hemoglobin disorders (neo-natal and adult screening)
modulating factors
methodology used for diagnosis of hemoglobin disorders
