We report a 23-year-old man and three members of his family with Hb J-Iran confirmed by electrophoresis, chain separation by high performance liquid chromatography and sequencing. Alpha thalassemia was also confirmed in two family members. The substitution at β77 led to a higher negative charge of the βJ-Iran subunit, which enhanced its electrostatic attraction for the normal positively-charged α subunit. Therefore, more Hb J-Iran than Hb A forms in the red blood cells of heterozygotes. In α-thalassemia, the more attractive βJ-Iran subunit outcompetes βA subunits in forming assemblies with deficient α subunits, so even more Hb J-Iran was formed.
我们报告了一名23岁男性及其三名家庭成员,经电泳、高效液相色谱链分离和测序确诊为Hb J-伊朗型。两名家庭成员也被确诊为α地中海贫血。β77处的替代导致βJ-伊朗亚基带更高的负电荷,增强了其对正常带正电荷的α亚基的静电吸引力。因此,杂合子红细胞中形成的Hb J-伊朗型比Hb A更多。在α地中海贫血中,更具吸引力的βJ-伊朗亚基在与缺陷α亚基形成聚集体时胜过βA亚基,所以形成了更多的Hb J-伊朗型。
