Iran with an area of 1.648 million km(2) is located between the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf. The Iranian population consists of multiethnic groups that have been influenced by various invasions and migration throughout history. Studies have revealed the presence of more than 47 different β-globin gene mutations responsible for β-Thalassemia in Iran. This paper is an attempt to study the origin of β-Thalassemia mutations in different parts of Iran. Distribution of β-Thalassemia mutations in Iran shows different patterns in different areas. β-Thalassemia mutations have been a reflection of people and area in correlation with migration and origin of ancestors. We compared the frequencies of β-globin mutations in different regions of Iran with those derived from neighboring countries. The analysis provided evidence of complementary information about the genetic admixture and migration of some mutations, as well as the remarkable genetic classification of the Iranian people and ethnic groups.
伊朗面积为164.8万平方公里,位于里海和波斯湾之间。伊朗人口由多个民族组成,历史上受到各种入侵和移民的影响。研究表明,伊朗存在47种以上导致β地中海贫血的不同β珠蛋白基因突变。本文旨在研究伊朗不同地区β地中海贫血突变的起源。伊朗β地中海贫血突变的分布在不同地区呈现出不同的模式。β地中海贫血突变反映了与祖先的迁移和起源相关的人群和地区情况。我们将伊朗不同地区β珠蛋白突变的频率与邻国的频率进行了比较。分析提供了关于某些突变的基因混合和迁移的补充信息,以及伊朗人民和民族显著的基因分类证据。
