Hemoglobin structure• Hemoglobin is a heterotetramer
Two alpha and two beta chains pOne chain coordinates one heme group• Four heme groups per hemoglobin
Oxygenation of Hemoglobin
• An atom of iron is held within the hemeThe iron binds oxygenThe iron binds oxygen
• Oxygenation pulls on the amino acid chain by distorting the domed shape of d t d hdeoxygenated heme

Hemoglobinophatiesg pDefinisi:
H dit di d th t lt iHereditary disorders that can result in moderate to severe anemia
Basic defect is production of an abnormal globin chain
HomozygousInheritance of two genes from each parentInheritance of two genes from each parent coding for the same type of abnormal hemoglobin, e.g., Hb SS
H tHeterozygousInheritance of genes from each parent which code for a different type of abnormal hemoglobin each, e.g., Hb SC

SICKLE CELL ANEMIADefinitionchronic hemolytic anemia characterized by sickle-shaped red cells(RBCs) caused by homozygous inheritance of Hemoglobin S
Normal RBCs Sickled RBCs
Pathogenesis
In HbS, valine is substituted for glutamic acid in the sixth amino acid of the ß chainsixth amino acid of the ß chainDeoxy-HbS is much less soluble than deoxy HbA; it forms a gelatinous network of fibrous polymers thatforms a gelatinous network of fibrous polymers thatcause RBCs to sickle at sites of low pO2
Hemolysis - because sickle RBCs are too fragile to y gwithstand the mechanical trauma of circulationOcclusion in microvascular circulation caused by
f Cdistorted, inflexible RBCs adhering to vascular endothelium
Clinical featuresUncomplicated sickle-cell anemia

Hb SC disease
• Milder anemia, fewer crises• Complications:
high frequency aseptic necrosis of the femoral d h l h d h t i lif tiand humoral heads, hematuria, proliferative
retinopathy, thrombotic tendency• Clinical findings• Clinical findings
Splenomegaly• Peripheral blood smear• Peripheral blood smear
target forms and intracellular cristals, sickeld forms, modest reticulocytosis lower than sickle-, ycell anemia
Hb C
• Hb C is less solulable with a tendency to cristal formation than Hb A lower oxygen affinity than Hb Aformation than Hb A, lower oxygen affinity than Hb A
• Contains less water and export higher level of K+
Hemolysis and increased red-cell turnover• Clinical manifestation:
mild hemolytic anemia and moderate splenomegaly• Symptomaticc in stress stage:
Anemia, reticulocytosisP i h l bl d• Peripheral blood smear:
target cells and intracellular crystals
Hb E
• Most common hemoglobin variant• Hb E heterozygotes (30% Hb E):yg ( )
Clinically normal, only minor hrmatological changes• Hb E homozygotes:
Mild anemia, similar to those of heterozygous ß thalassemia
