摘要
目的探讨惠州地区人群β缺失型地贫的检出率及临床特征,为基因诊断及产前诊断提供更好的指导。方法收集惠州市孕前、孕期检查夫妇19 585对,首先对血常规及血红蛋白电泳进行地贫筛查,对阳性者行基因诊断。对于疑为β地贫检出阴性者加用Gap-PCR技术检测β缺失型地贫。结果在364例样本中检出62例东南亚型HPFH(SEA-HPFH)、41例中国型~Gγ(~Aγδβ)~0和2例中国台湾型(Taiwanese),总检出率为0.27%。血常规结果显示β缺失型地贫携带者均表现为小细胞低色素,但贫血症状较轻或无贫血。血红蛋白电泳分析中SEA-HPFH和中国型~Gγ(~Aγδβ)~0缺失地贫携带者的血红蛋白F(HbF)明显增高,前者大部分的HbA_2升高而后者全部不增高。Taiwanese缺失地贫携带者HbA_2增高,但HbF没有明显增高。比较SEA-HPFH和中国型~Gγ(~Aγδβ)~0缺失杂合子的血液学特征,红细胞平均体积(MCV)、红细胞平均血红蛋白含量(MCH)、血红蛋白A(HbA)、血红蛋白A_2(HbA_2)和HbF的5组数据差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论惠州地区人群β缺失型地贫携带率高,呈现小细胞低色素特征,有明显的HbF升高。因此,应注意及重视β缺失型地贫的诊断,预防中、重型患儿的出生。
Objective To investigate the gene frequency and clinical features of β-thalassemia in Huizhou, so as to provide better guidance for genenetic and prenatal diagnosis. Methods A total of 19585 couples receiving pre-pregnancy and pregnancy examination in Huizhou were selected. Thalassemia screening was conducted by blood routine and hemoglobin electrophoresis, and further genetic diagnosis were conducted among the positive cases. The suspected β-thalassemia samples were processed by Gap-PCR. Results SEA-HPFH tpye, Chinese ~Gγ(~Aγδβ)~0 type and Taiwan type were revealed in 62, 41 and 2 cases among 364 samples, respectively. The total detection rate was 0.27%. The blood routine results of β-thalassemia carriers showed microcytic hypochromic anemia, but with mild or no symptoms of anemia. Hemoglobin analysis showed significant increase in HbF in SEA-HPFH and Chinese ~Gγ(~Aγδβ)~0 thalassemia carriers, in which HbA2 were increased in most of the former while not increased in the latter. Hb F was not significantly increased but only HbA2 increased in Taiwan type thalassemia carriers. Statistical differences were found in hematological phenotype indexes, including MCV, MCH, Hb A, Hb A2 and Hb F between the SEA-HPFH and Chinese ~Gγ(~Aγδβ)~0 heterozygous(P<0.05). Conclusion There is a high prevalence of β-thalassemia in Huizhou. Microcytic hypochromic anemia and increased HbF are common symptoms. Therefore, the prenatal diagnosis of β-thalassemia is critical to prevent the birth of children with moderate or severe disease.
