摘要:

β-地中海贫血(β-地贫)是一种可致死、致残的遗传性血液病,临床上具有较宽泛的表型变异谱,在致病基因型相同或类似的情况下,患者的临床表型严重程度有很大的差异。探索影响β-地贫表型的遗传修饰因素是当前血液病及遗传病领域的研究热点和重点。本文从α-珠蛋白基因型和胎儿血红蛋白(Hb F)数量性状位点两个方面阐述了可加重或缓解β-地贫表型的遗传修饰因素,并着重介绍了调控γ-珠蛋白基因重激活的转录因子变异,以及β-珠蛋白基因簇顺式元件变异。最后,本文举例介绍了β-地贫遗传修饰的临床应用以及未来发展前景。

Abstract:

β-thalassemia (β-thal) is a fatal and disabling inherited blood disorder with diverse phenotypes. The same or similar genotype of β-thal can manifest variable clinical severities. It is the hotspot and emphasis in the field of hematopathy and genetic diseases to explore genetic modifiers that influence the phenotype of β-thal. This review illustrates the deteriorating and amelioratig modifiers from two aspects: genotypes of α-globin and quantitative trait locus of fetal hemoglobin (Hb F). Variations of transcription factors which reactive the γ-globin gene expression and β-globin cluster cis-acting elements were introduced emphatically. Finally, clinical applications and future development prospects of β-thal genetic modifiers are introduced by examples.

Key words: β-thalassemia, fetal hemoglobin, genetic modifier effects, gene editing
