[G gamma/A gamma, A gamma I/A gamma T ratios of fetal hemoglobin of Han, Hui, Uygur and Kazak newborns in Xinjiang and gene mapping analysis of two cases with abnormal ratio].
The G gamma/A gamma, A gamma I/A gamma T ratios of fetal hemoglobin of 372 cord blood samples of newborns (Han 102, Hui 102, Uygur 99, and Kazak 69) in Urumchi were determined by HPLC. The means of G gamma ratios of 4 ethnic groups (Han, Hui, Uygur, and Kazak) were 66.83%, 68.33%, 70.44% and 69.70%, respectively. 4 cases (Hui 3 and Kazak 1) with low G gamma (< 50%), and 25 cases (Han 5, Hui 4, Uygur 11 and Kazak 5) with high G gamma (> 80%) were found. The occurrences of low G gamma in Hui and Kazak were 2.94% and 1.45% while in Han and Uygur no single case with low G gamma was found. Those of high G gamma in 4 ethnic groups were 4.9% (Han), 3.9% (Hui), 11.1% (Uygur) and 7.2% (Kazak), respectively. A gamma T heterozygotes in Han 21, Hui 23, Uygur 26 and Kazak 29 cases, and one A gamma T homozygote in each ethnic group were found. The average values of A gamma I were 56.83%, 55.58%, 50.94% and 54.68% respectively. The frequencies of A gamma T gene were 0.113, 0.123, 0.141 and 0.225, respectively. The gene arrangement of a low G gamma case was identified as-GA gamma I-/-G gamma-A gamma I-, and that of a high G gamma case as -G gamma-AG gamma-A gamma I(A gamma T)-/-G gamma-A gamma T(A gamma I)-.
