We report a case of Hb S/β0-thalassemia (Hb S/β0-thal) in a patient who is a compound heterozygote for the Hb Sickle mutation (HBB:c.20A > T) and a mutation of the canonical splice acceptor sequence of IVS1 (AG > TG, HBB:c.93-2A > T). This is the fifth mutation involving the AG splice acceptor site of IVS1, all of which prevent normal splicing and cause β0-thal.

To assess the roles of genetic modifiers in Iraqi β-thalassemia patients, and determine whether a genotype-based scoring system could be used to predict phenotype, a total of 224 Iraqi patients with molecularly characterized homozygous or compound heterozygous β-thalassemia were further investigated for α-thalassemia deletions as well as five polymorphisms namely: rs7482144 C > T at HBG2, rs1427407 G > T and rs10189857 A > G at BCL11A, and rs28384513 A > C and rs9399137 T > C at HMIP. The enrolled patients had a median age of 14 years, with 96 males and 128 females. They included 144 thalassemia major, and 80 thalassemia intermedia patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a model including sex and four of these genetic modifiers, namely: β+ alleles, HBG2 rs7482144, α-thalassemia deletions, and BCL11A rs1427407 could significantly predict phenotype (major versus intermedia) with an overall accuracy of 83.9%. Furthermore, a log odds genetic score based on these significant predictors had a highly significant area under curve of 0.917 (95% CI 0.882-0.953). This study underscores the notion that genetic scoring systems should be tailored to populations in question, since genetic modifiers (and/or their relative weight) vary between populations. The population-oriented genetic scoring system created by the current study to predict β-thalassemia phenotype among Iraqis may pave the way to personalized medicine in this patient's group.
为了评估遗传修饰因子在伊拉克β地中海贫血症患者中的作用,并确定基于基因型的评分系统是否可用于预测表型,我们对 224 名分子特征为同型或复合杂合型β地中海贫血症的伊拉克患者进行了α地中海贫血症缺失和五种多态性的进一步研究,这五种多态性分别是:HBG2 的 rs7482144 C > T、BCL11A 的 rs1427407 G > T 和 rs10189857 A > G、BCL11A 的 rs28384513 A > G 和 rs28384513 A > G:HBG2 的 rs7482144 C > T、BCL11A 的 rs1427407 G > T 和 rs10189857 A > G 以及 HMIP 的 rs28384513 A > C 和 rs9399137 T > C。入组患者的中位年龄为 14 岁,其中男性 96 人,女性 128 人。其中包括 144 名重型地中海贫血患者和 80 名中型地中海贫血患者。多变量逻辑回归分析表明,一个包括性别和四种遗传修饰因子(即:β+等位基因、HBG2 rs7482144、α-地中海贫血缺失和 BCL11A rs1427407)的模型可以显著预测表型(重型与中型),总体准确率为 83.9%。此外,基于这些重要预测因子的对数几率遗传评分的曲线下面积为 0.917(95% CI 0.882-0.953),具有高度显著性。这项研究强调了一个观点,即基因评分系统应针对相关人群量身定制,因为不同人群的基因修饰因子(和/或其相对权重)各不相同。本研究为预测伊拉克人的β地中海贫血表型而创建的以人群为导向的基因评分系统可能会为该患者群体的个性化医疗铺平道路。
