Clinical phenotype genotype correlation in children with hemoglobin H disease in Zhuhai area of China

OBJECTIVE: Alpha-thalassemia is one of the most common monogene disorders in the world. Most frequently, it is caused by deletions of alpha-globin gene (-alpha or --), and less commonly resulted from the non-deletional mutation (alpha(T)alpha). Hemoglobin H (HbH) disease is the most severe type amon...

520 |a OBJECTIVE: Alpha-thalassemia is one of the most common monogene disorders in the world. Most frequently, it is caused by deletions of alpha-globin gene (-alpha or --), and less commonly resulted from the non-deletional mutation (alpha(T)alpha). Hemoglobin H (HbH) disease is the most severe type among survivors of alpha-thalassemia. The clinical presentation of children with the disease was highly heterogeneous. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of alpha-globin genotypes in the children with HbH disease on predicting the phenotypic severity and to define the factors involved in the disease progress 
520 |a METHODS: Forty-three children with the disease in Zhuhai area of Guangdong, China were examined by using established techniques to detect genotypes of alpha-globin and to determine all hematological parameters. All detailed clinical data of the cases were recorded. Then clinical and hematological findings, and the correlation with genotypes were evaluated 
520 |a RESULTS: Six alpha-thalassemia mutations were detected and interacted to produce 5 HbH disease genotypes. Of these genotypes, -alpha(3.7)/--(SEA)(60%), -alpha(4.2)/--(SEA) (19%) and alpha(CS)alpha/--(SEA) (12%) HbH diseases were prevalent in the area. Compared with -alpha(3.7)/--(SEA) HbH disease, significantly lower red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCHC) and HbA(2) (P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.01 and 0.01, respectively), and significantly higher mean corpuscular hemoglobin volume (MCV) and HbH levels (both P < 0.01), and more severe clinical phenotypes were found in the HbH disease with alpha(T)alpha/--(SEA) genotype. While the differences were much more significant when compared with -alpha(3.7)/--(SEA) then compared with -alpha(4.2)/--(SEA) not only in the hematological parameters, but also in the severity of clinical phenotypes. In addition, HbH levels showed anegatively correlation with the RBC count (r = -0.39, P < 0.01) 
520 |a CONCLUSION: The phenotypes of HbH disease may be mainly related to the underlying genotypes. The children with alpha(T)alpha/--(SEA) genotype presented with more severe hematological and clinical phenotypes followed by the -alpha(4.2)/--(SEA) and then -alpha(3.7)/--(SEA) genotypes. But phenotypic severity was not simply related to the degree of alpha-globin deficiency. HbH levels were found to exacerbate anemia. These data might provide comprehensive and very valuable and basic information for the management of HbH disease, genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis
