Ocorrência de hemoglobina S no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil

Abstract: Introdução: As hemoglobinopatias são as alterações genéticas mais comuns no homem, sendo a hemoglobina (Hb) S a mais freqüente entre todas. Sua ocorrência no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul ainda não foi sistematicamente avaliada. Objetivos: Caracterizar a ocorrência de Hb S por genótipos, sexo, idade no momento do diagnóstico, índice de cobertura e prevalência em Mato Grosso do Sul. Material e método: Estudo retrospectivo, transversal e descritivo, desenvolvido com os resultados de triagem neonatal para hemoglob… Show more

“…The presence of hemoglobin S (Hb S), prevailing in sickle cell disease, consists in a change that characterizes it as a structural hemoglobinopathy, whereas thalassemia is a synthesis hemoglobinopathy. Individuals with Hb S have predominated in the screenings performed in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) 2., 3.. In order to explain these findings, further research is needed.…”

“…Under the responsibility of the Instituto de Pesquisas, Ensino e Diagnóstico da Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais (IPED-APAE), the program is in its Step II in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Coverage has been increasing in the State; in 2002, the program already screened 92.06% of newborns 2 . Since then, there have been no records of coverage of less than 87.41% 2 …”

“…However, genetic changes in hemoglobin also cause anemia, namely hemoglobinopathies. These are among the most common genetic mutations in the general population (2,4) . Nevertheless, they are not extensively studied as a cause of anemia in patients with kidney disease, despite the fact that there are studies that correlate the presence of sickle hemoglobin with kidney damage.…”
