We report a new hemoglobin (Hb) variant, Hb Marineo [beta70(E14)Ala --> Val], found in three generations of a family from West Sicily. The mutation is due to a GCC --> GTC substitution at codon 70 of the beta-globin gene. To date, three mutations at codon 70 of the beta-globin gene have been described, presenting with hemolytic anemia. In our case, no anemia or other alteration of hematological indices were found. Cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) showed a peak in the P2 window (VARIANT I), while a peak was detected by VARIANT II HPLC in the P3 window. Reversed phase HPLC analysis showed an abnormal chain amounting to about 40% of the total beta chains.
我们报告了一种新的血红蛋白(Hb)变体,即Hb Marineo [β70(E14)丙氨酸→缬氨酸],在来自西西里岛西部的一个家族的三代人中发现。该突变是由于β-珠蛋白基因第70密码子处发生GCC→GTC替换。迄今为止,已描述了β-珠蛋白基因第70密码子处的三种突变,均表现为溶血性贫血。在我们的病例中,未发现贫血或其他血液学指标改变。阳离子交换高效液相色谱(HPLC)显示在P2窗口(变体I)有一个峰,而变体II HPLC在P3窗口检测到一个峰。反相HPLC分析显示异常链约占总β链的40%。
