About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for HBA2:
The human alpha globin gene cluster located on chromosome 16 spans about 30 kb and includes seven loci: 5'- zeta -
pseudozeta - mu - pseudoalpha-1 - alpha-2 - alpha-1 - theta - 3'. The alpha-2 (HBA2) and alpha-1 (HBA1) coding
sequences are identical. These genes differ slightly over the 5' untranslated regions and the introns, but they differ
significantly over the 3' untranslated regions. Two alpha chains plus two beta chains constitute HbA, which in normal
adult life comprises about 97% of the total hemoglobin; alpha chains combine with delta chains to constitute HbA-2,
which with HbF (fetal hemoglobin) makes up the remaining 3% of adult hemoglobin. Alpha thalassemias result from
deletions of each of the alpha genes as well as deletions of both HBA2 and HBA1; some nondeletion alpha thalassemias
have also been reported. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

    HBA2 for disorders           About GeneDecksing

    OMIM gene information: 141850   
    OMIM disorders: 604131  140700  
    UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: HBA_HUMAN, P69905
  • Defects in HBA1 may be a cause of Heinz body anemias (HEIBAN) [MIM:140700]. This is a form of non-spherocytic
  • hemolytic anemia of Dacie type 1. After splenectomy, which has little benefit, basophilic inclusions called Heinz
    bodies are demonstrable in the erythrocytes. Before splenectomy, diffuse or punctate basophilia may be evident. Most
    of these cases are probably instances of hemoglobinopathy. The hemoglobin demonstrates heat lability. Heinz bodies are
    observed also with the Ivemark syndrome (asplenia with cardiovascular anomalies) and with glutathione peroxidase
    deficiency
  • Defects in HBA1 are the cause of alpha-thalassemia (A-THAL) [MIM:604131]. The thalassemias are the most common
  • monogenic diseases and occur mostly in Mediterranean and Southeast Asian populations. The hallmark of
    alpha-thalassemia is an imbalance in globin-chain production in the adult HbA molecule. The level of alpha chain
    production can range from none to very nearly normal levels. Deletion of both copies of each of the two alpha-globin
    genes causes alpha(0)-thalassemia, also known as homozygous alpha thalassemia. Due to the complete absence of alpha
    chains, the predominant fetal hemoglobin is a tetramer of gamma-chains (Bart hemoglobin) that has essentially no
    oxygen carrying capacity. This causes oxygen starvation in the fetal tissues leading to prenatal lethality or early
    neonatal death. The loss of three alpha genes results in high levels of a tetramer of four beta chains (hemoglobin H),
    causing a severe and life-threatening anemia known as hemoglobin H disease. Untreated, most patients die in childhood
    or early adolescence. The loss of two alpha genes results in mild alpha-thalassemia, also known as heterozygous
    alpha-thalassemia. Affected individuals have small red cells and a mild anemia (microcytosis). If three of the four
    alpha-globin genes are functional, individuals are completely asymptomatic. Some rare forms of alpha-thalassemia are
    due to point mutations (non-deletional alpha-thalassemia). The thalassemic phenotype is due to unstable globin alpha
    chains that are rapidly catabolized prior to formation of the alpha-beta heterotetramers
  • Note=Alpha(0)-thalassemia is associated with non-immune hydrops fetalis, a generalized edema of the fetus with
  • fluid accumulation in the body cavities due to non-immune causes. Non-immune hydrops fetalis is not a diagnosis in
    itself but a symptom, a feature of many genetic disorders, and the end-stage of a wide variety of disorders
  • Defects in HBA1 are the cause of hemoglobin H disease (HBH) [MIM:613978]. HBH is a form of alpha-thalassemia
  • due to the loss of three alpha genes. This results in high levels of a tetramer of four beta chains (hemoglobin H),
    causing a severe and life-threatening anemia. Untreated, most patients die in childhood or early adolescence
