Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) can be caused by point mutations in the γ-globin gene promoters. We report three rare cases: a child compound heterozygous for Hb S (HBB: c.20A > T) and HPFH with a novel point mutation in the (A)γ-globin gene promoter who had 42.0% Hb S, 17.0% Hb A and 38.0% Hb F; a man with Hb SC (HBB: c.19G > A) disease and a point mutation in the (G)γ-globin gene promoter who had 54.0% Hb S, 18.0% Hb C and 25.0% Hb F; a child heterozygous for Hb S and HPFH due to mutations in both the (A)γ- and (G)γ-globin gene promoters in cis [(G)γ(A)γ(β(+)) HPFH], with 67.0% Hb A, 6.5% Hb S and 25.0% Hb F.
胎儿血红蛋白遗传性持续存在(HPFH)可由γ-珠蛋白基因启动子中的点突变引起。我们报告三例罕见病例:一名儿童为Hb S(HBB:c.20A>T)和HPFH的复合杂合子,其(A)γ-珠蛋白基因启动子有一个新的点突变,Hb S占42.0%,Hb A占17.0%,Hb F占38.0%;一名患有Hb SC(HBB:c.19G>A)疾病的男性,其(G)γ-珠蛋白基因启动子有一个点突变,Hb S占54.0%,Hb C占18.0%,Hb F占25.0%;一名儿童因顺式(G)γ-和(A)γ-珠蛋白基因启动子均发生突变而成为Hb S和HPFH的杂合子[(G)γ(A)γ(β(+))HPFH],Hb A占67.0%,Hb S占6.5%,Hb F占25.0%。
