A complete blood count was performed in each case. In subjects with a mean corpuscular volume < 85 fl or hemoglobin (Hb) < 12 gm% (female) or 13 gm% (male), quantitation of Hb A2 and DNA analysis of alpha- and beta-globin genes were performed. Alpha-thalassemia was diagnosed by Southern hybridization of subject's DNA to alpha-, and zeta-globin gene fragments, and to Lo probe if needed. DNA from beta-thalassemia carriers was studied by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing. In the Ami, 42 (8.2%) were alpha-thalassemia 1 carriers, 42 (8.2%) were alpha-thalassemia 2 carriers, one had Hb H disease, and four (0.8%) were beta-thalassemia carriers. In the Bunun, one (0.2%) was an alpha-thalassemia 1 carrier, and two (0.4%) were alpha-thalassemia 2 carriers. In the Atayal, one (0.2%) was an alpha-thalassemia 1 carrier. In the Paiwan, seven (3.3%) were alpha-thalassemia 1 carriers, and one (0.5%) was an alpha-thalassemia 2 carrier. In the Yami, none were either alpha- or beta-thalassemia carriers. Diverse genetic origin, intragroup breeding and malarial selection may play a role in the significant differences of thalassemia prevalences both between the Chinese and the aborigines, and among different groups of aborigines. |
