Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a blood test that can detect different types of hemoglobin . It uses the principles of gel electrophoresis to separate out the various types of hemoglobin and is a type of native gel electrophoresis . The test can detect abnormal levels of HbS, the form associated with sickle cell disease , as well as other abnormal hemoglobin related blood disorders, such as hemoglobin C . It can also be used to determine whether there is a deficiency of any normal form of hemoglobin, as in the group of diseases known as thalassemia s. Different hemoglobins have different charges, and according to those charges and the amount, hemoglobins move at different speeds in the gel whether in alkaline gel or acid gel.The hemoglobin electrophoresis is also known to be thalessemia screening, this also can be helpful for the patient who is frequently need of fresh blood transfusion. The patient needs blood transfusion because the body is unable to produce enough hemoglobin to satisfy the body s requirement. See Hemoglobinopathy Migration patterns Migration Patterns .

Hemoglobin Barts consists of four gamma chains. It is moderately insoluble, and therefore accumulates in the red blood cells. It has an extremely high affinity for oxygen, resulting in almost no oxygen delivery to the tissues. It is produced in the disease alpha thalassemia and in the most severe of cases, it is the only form of haemoglobin in circulation. In this situation, a fetus will develop hydrops fetalis and normally die before or shortly after birth, unless intrauterine blood transfusion is performed. Since Hemoglobin Barts is elevated in alpha thalassaemia, it can be measured, providing a useful screening test for this disease in some populations. ref Cite journal author F. P. van der Dijs , M.

PBB geneid 3039 Hemoglobin, alpha 1 , also known as HBA1 , is a hemoglobin protein that in humans is encoded by the HBA1 gene . Function The human alpha globin gene cluster located on chromosome 16 spans about 30 kb and includes seven loci 5 zeta pseudozeta mu pseudoalpha 1 alpha 2 alpha 1 theta 3 . The alpha 2 HBA2 and alpha 1 HBA1 coding sequences are identical. These genes differ slightly over the 5 untranslated regions and the introns, but they differ significantly over the 3 untranslated regions. Two alpha chains plus two beta chains constitute HbA, which in normal adult life comprises about 97 of the total hemoglobin alpha chains combine with delta chains to constitute HbA 2, which with HbF fetal hemoglobin makes up the remaining 3 of adult hemoglobin. Alpha thalassemia s result from deletions of each of the alpha genes as well as deletions of both HBA2 and HBA1 some nondeletion alpha thalassemias have also been reported. ref cite web title Entrez Gene HBA1 hemoglobin, alpha 1 url http www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov sites entrez?Db gene&Cmd ShowDetailView&TermToSearch 3039 accessdate ref Interactions Hemoglobin, alpha 1 has been shown to Protein protein interaction interact with HBB . ref ...

Orphan date February 2009 Hb Bassett is a Hemoglobin variants hemoglobin variant that exhibits a very reduced oxygen affinity Abdulmalik et al., 2004 . Hb Bassett arises from a mutation at the alpha 94 G1 position whereby aspartic acid is replaced by alanine Abdulmalik et al., 2004 . Hb Bassett is a disruption of the alpha1 and beta2 contact point Voet and Voet, 2006, Abdulmalik et al., 2004 . Hemoglobin of the Bassett variety has much higher P50 than normal hemoglobin . At pH 7, Hb Bassett has a P50 of approximately 22mmHg and normal hemoglobin has an approximate P50 of 10.5mmHg Abdulmalik et al., 2004 . In addition to high P50 values, Hb Bassett shows a reduced Bohr effect reduced oxygen unloading and low cooperativity n 1.4 resulting in lower oxygen affinity Abdulmalik et al., 2004 . These factors conspire to produce a hemoglobin variant that does not provide sufficient oxygen and manifests itself as low oxygen saturation, episodes of cyanosis and anemia Abdulmalik et al., 2004 . The proposed explanation for Hb Bassett s instability is loosening and destabilization of the hemoglobin R state bound ligand oxygen and a resulting shift in the equilibrium that exists between the two states towards the T state unbound oxygen . The instability is localized at the interface between the two dimeric subunits of hemoglobin. The lack of bound oxygen in Hb Bassett homozygote s leads to the clinical outcome of cyanosis they are cyanotic Abdulmalik et al., 2004 .
