DELTA-BETA-THALASSEMIA
Alternate names
DELTA-BETA-THALASSEMIA Is also known as hemoglobin f, hereditary persistence of, hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin, hb gene cluster-related, hpfh
Description
Delta-beta-thalassemia is a form of beta-thalassemia (see this term) characterized by decreased or absent synthesis of the delta- and beta-globin chains with a compensatory increase in expression of fetal gamma-chain synthesis.
Most common symptoms of DELTA-BETA-THALASSEMIA
- Anemia
- Hemolytic anemia
- Postural instability
- Microcytic anemia
- Abnormality of blood and blood-forming tissues

HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF FETAL HEMOGLOBIN-BETA-THALASSEMIA SYNDROME
Alternate names
HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF FETAL HEMOGLOBIN-BETA-THALASSEMIA SYNDROME Is also known as hpfh-beta-thalassemia syndrome
Description
Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) associated with beta-thalassemia (see this term) is characterized by high hemoglobin (Hb) F levels and an increased number of fetal-Hb-containing-cells.
Most common symptoms of HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF FETAL HEMOGLOBIN-BETA-THALASSEMIA SYNDROME
- Anemia
- Hepatomegaly
- Splenomegaly
- Pallor
- Persistence of hemoglobin F

CYANOSIS, TRANSIENT NEONATAL; TNCY
Description
Neonatal cyanosis is characterized by symptoms in the fetus and neonate that gradually abate by 5 to 6 months of age. The disorder is caused by a defect in the fetal hemoglobin chain, which causes reduced affinity for oxygen due to steric inhibition of oxygen binding and/or due to increased oxidation of the fetal hemoglobin molecule to methemoglobin (Hb FM), which has decreased oxygen-binding capacity. Some patients develop anemia resulting from increased destruction of red cells containing abnormal or unstable hemoglobin. The cyanosis resolves spontaneously by 5 to 6 months of age or earlier, as the adult beta-globin chain (HBB ) is produced and replaces the fetal gamma-globin chain (summary by Crowley et al., 2011).
Most common symptoms of CYANOSIS, TRANSIENT NEONATAL; TNCY
- Anemia
- Hepatomegaly
- Jaundice
- Cyanosis
- Reticulocytosis

HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF FETAL HEMOGLOBIN-SICKLE CELL DISEASE SYNDROME
Alternate names
HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF FETAL HEMOGLOBIN-SICKLE CELL DISEASE SYNDROME Is also known as hpfh-sickle cell disease syndrome
Description
A rare, genetic, hemoglobinopathy characterized by generally mild clinical phenotype, high fetal hemoglobin levels and mild microcytosis and hypochromia. In some cases, acute sickle cell disease manifestations were reported, namely acute chest syndrome and acute pain crisis.

HEMOGLOBINOPATHY TOMS RIVER
Alternate names
HEMOGLOBINOPATHY TOMS RIVER Is also known as transient neonatal cyanosis and anemia due to toms river hemoglobin
Description
Hemoglobinopathy Toms River is a rare, genetic hemoglobinopathy disorder, due to a defect in the gama subunit of the fetal hemoglobin, characterized by neonatal cyanosis, low hemoglobin oxygen saturation levels without arterial hypoxemia, moderate anemia and reticulocytosis, not associated with heart or lung disease. Symptoms progressively subside within the first months of life.
