Hemoglobinopathies
• Thalassaemia: – Primary abnormality: reduced synthesis rate of globin chains – Defined by imbalanced αβ ratio
• HbH = β4 (α-thalassemia) • Hb Bart’s = γ4 (α-thalassemia) • Insoluble aggregates of α globin chains (β-thalassemia)
– Traditionally though not invariably microcytic hypochromic anemia
• Variant hemoglobins: – Structural abnormality in the globin chain – Functional abnormality
![Page 6: Hemoglobinopathies: routine lab work-up and beyond · Outline •Introduction: hemoglobin and its disorders •Routine diagnostic setting •Expert diagnostic setting •Research](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022040810/5e51505bcd3fab223101845a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hemoglobinopathies • Thalassaemia:
– Primary abnormality: reduced synthesis rate of globin chains – Defined by imbalanced αβ ratio – Traditionally though not invariably microcytic hypochromic anemia
• Variant hemoglobins: – Structural abnormality in the globin chain
• (single/multiple) point mutation, deletion, fusion, chain elongation – Functional abnormality
• Changes in quaternary structure, solubility changes, changes of accessibility of heme,….no functional changes (= silent mutants)
– Normal αβ ratio normocytic, normochromic anemia

Hemoglobinopathies in the world
• Most common autosomal recessive, monogenetic disorders: – WHO: +/- 5% of world population is carrier – Carrier status for both partners
severe hemoglobinopathy = 25% severe hemoglobinopathy = ca. 300.000 annually (β-thal major, HbS)
• Distribution ~ due to partial protection for carriers from malaria

• Hb analysis techniques
CZE – Identification + quantification of:
• HbA, HbF, HbS, HbA2, HbE, HbC, HbD, HbG + others – Advantages
• Quantification of HbA2 and HbF • HbE separation from HbA2 • Reliable HbA2% when HbS present (PTM fractions under main peak) • Easy-to-use system, high through-put automation, multi-use • Detection of minor variants • Reliable detection of HbH and Hb Bart’s • No interference of bilirubin
