From 70 infants born after gestation periods of 28-41 weeks HbF and HbA2 were determined in the cord blood; HbA was calculated from the two values. HbF decreased with maturity, HbA and HbA2 increased. The percentage of HbA2 calculated from the sum of HbA + HbA2 (non-fetal Hb) increased from 0.57% to 0.83% with maturity. These values are much lower than those in adult controls (1.83%). The results show that during development the synthesis of the delta-globin chains lags behind that of the beta-globin chains. This is remarkable considering the location of the delta-globin gene within the beta-globin like gene cluster.
对70名孕周在28至41周之间出生的婴儿,测定其脐带血中的HbF和HbA2;HbA由这两个值计算得出。HbF随成熟度降低,HbA和HbA2升高。由HbA + HbA2(非胎儿血红蛋白)之和计算得出的HbA2百分比随成熟度从0.57%增至0.83%。这些值远低于成人对照组的值(1.83%)。结果表明,在发育过程中,δ-珠蛋白链的合成落后于β-珠蛋白链。考虑到δ-珠蛋白基因在β-珠蛋白样基因簇中的位置,这一点很值得注意。
