Estudo genético-epidemiológico da hemoglobina S em uma população do Sudeste do Brasil

Abstract: A anemia falciforme, expressão clínica dos homozigotos do gene da hemoglobina S, é a doença hereditária mais freqüente no Brasil. Apesar disso, a metodologia genético-epidemiológica raramente é usada nos estudos brasileiros sobre essa alteração. No presente estudo foram analisados, por meio de um software específico, os dados de 817 heterozigotos do gene da HbS (513 homens e 304 mulheres), não consangüíneos, com idades entre 18 e 65 anos, detectados voluntariamente na cidade de Campinas, SP, Sudeste do Brasil.… Show more

“…(2) Few populations are exempt and its presence in many regions is a concern for public health.

“…(2) Few populations are exempt and its presence in many regions is a concern for public health. (3,4) Therefore, considering the heterogeneous origin of the Brazilian population, it is not surprising that hereditary hemoglobin disorders are common and that their occurrence varies in different regions. (3) Sickle cell disease is characterized by a point mutation (GAG-GTG), corresponding to the substitution of glutamic acid by valine at position 6 of the beta chain of the hemoglobin molecule, giving rise to the hemoglobin mutant S (Hb S).…”
