• Group of congenital anaemias.• Deficient synthesis of one or more globin
subunits of normal human hemoglobin• According to the chain whose synthesis is
impaired, the thalassemias are called α-,β-,γ-,δ-,δβ- or εγδβ- thalassemias.

Geographic Distribution
Found in high frequency in a broad belt extending from the Mediterranean basin, the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, Burma, South-east Asia and the islands of the Pacific.

• World-wide 15 million people have clinically apparent thalassemia disorders.
• There are 240 million carriers of β-thalassemia in the world.
• In India, 30 million people are β-thalassemia carrier with a mean prevalence of 3.3%.

• Every year 100,000 children with thalassemia major are born world over, of which 10000 are born in India.

• Carrier rate for β-thalassemia varies from 1-3% in South India to 3-15% in North India.
• Higher carrier rate is especially noticed in the tribal population all over India.

What about West Bengal?
• Thalassemia trait prevalent in the population of the state in the magnitude of 11.25%.
• Prevalence among close relatives of cases is 55.26%.
• Prevalence among scheduled tribes and Muslims is predominantly more.

• General population has a prevalence of 3.6% (males) and 5.95% in antenatal mothers.
• High prevalence rate is associated with illiterates (19.23%) than literates (5.55%).
• Highest prevalence rate 20.47% is associated with age group of 0-9 years.

Mutations causing α-thalassemia
a. Deletion α-thalassemiab. Non-deletion α-thalassemia.
![Page 13: Thalassemia Urmimala](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/54869a07b4af9fa27b8b46e3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Deletion α-thalassemia
α + type• Single α globin gene
deletion. -α4.2 kb (leftward deletion) -α3.7 kb(rightward deletion) -α3.5kb α[α]5.3 Region containing α1 gene.
α 0 type• Deletion of both α1 and α2
globin gene. -[α]5.2 -[α]20.5 HS40 deletion alone
keeping α1 and α2 sites intact.

Non-deletion α-thalassemia
• Hb Constant Spring(α 142 TAASCAA, StopSGlu)• Hb Icaria (α 142 Lys)• Hb Koya Dora (α 142 Ser)• Hb Seal Rock (α 142 Glu)• Hb Paksé (α 142 Tyr).
1.Due to modification of stop codon.

• Hb Heraklion (α 137 ProS0)• Hb Agrinio (α 29 LeuSPro)
2. Mutation in α-globin gene

Non-deletion β-thalassemia
• Occurs due to:-1. Single nucleotide substitution2. Oligonucleotide insertions/deletions
![Page 18: Thalassemia Urmimala](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/54869a07b4af9fa27b8b46e3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Non-deletion β-thalassemia
• Mutations altering β-gene transcription1. Promoter mutation-affecting conserved
motifs in 5’ flanking sequence if β gene (TATA box.)
2. 5’-UTR mutation

• Mutation involving RNA processing1. Splice junction mutation-Eg.- Mutation at
position 5 of IVS-1(G C)2. Consensus splice mutation3. Cryptic splice site mutation in introns4. Cryptic splice mutation in exons5. Poly A and other 3’-UTR mutation

• Mutations involving m-RNA translation1. Initiation codon mutation2. Nonsense codon mutation3. Frameshift mutation

Deletion β-thalassemia
• 619-bp deletion removing 3’ end of β-globin gene.
• This mutation is very common in Punjab and Sind.
