null mutation

191
Q

what disease has severe microcytic hypochromic anemia, hepatosplenomegly, ,bone marrow expansion, skeletal changes, require regular blood transfusions (iron overload secondary to transfussions)

β-Thalassemia Major

192
Q

What is the main form of beta thalassemia major

A

β° Thalassemia

193
Q

What is beta thalassemia intermedia

A

like β° Thalassemia but less severe

194
Q

What is the normal mutation for mutations in beta thalassemia vs alpha

A

null mutations with no functional protein produced

Not complete deletions (like alpha)

195
Q

what is the most common cause of beta thalassemia

A

point mutations

196
Q

what do missense mutations usually result in

A

specific structural disorders with different specific phenotypes, not thalassemias

197
Q

How is Hb Lepore caused by what?

A

unequal crossing over b/w beta globin and delta globin

198
Q

How do beta and delta gobin have crossing over

A

they are so similar they can misalign

199
Q

What is the result of crossing over of beta and delta globin

A

it will be a hybrid gene, so part delta part beta

200
Q

what is the issue in Hb lepore

A

not enough beta globin being produced because delta globin is expressed at very low levels

201
Q

why is beta globin expressed at low levels in Hb lepore

A

because of the crossing over its a gene hybrid and the recombined gene uses promoter from delta globin

202
Q

why is beta globin expressed at low levels in Hb lepore

A

because of the crossing over its a gene hybrid and the recombined gene uses promoter from delta globin

203
Q

Is the recombined beta delta gene in Hb lepore functional?

A

yes but expressed at low levels so presents as beta thalassemia

204
Q

Is the recombined beta delta gene in Hb lepore functional?

A

yes but expressed at low levels so presents as beta thalassemia

205
Q

What does HPFH stand for

A

206
Q

What is phenotype of HPFH

207
Q

What causes HPFH?
