Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a monogenic disorder under polygenic and environmental control. This aetiopathogenic architecture leads to marked clinical heterogeneity with the emergence of multiple and diverse subphenotypes, which makes the patients severity stratification particularly difficult. A number of severity scores have been proposed, aiming at the integration of many clinical dimensions into a meaningf...
Sickle-cell anaemia (SCA) is a clinically heterogeneous autosomal recessive monogenic chronic anaemia characterized by recurrent episodes of severe vaso-occlusion, haemolysis and infection. Several genetic and environmental modifiers have been suggested to modulate the onset and course of SCA. As part of a wider research on the development and validation of vaso-occlusion early predictors in SCA, we have studi...
Os doentes traumatizados graves apresentam um elevado risco de desenvolver coagulopatia, hipotermia e acidose metabólica, alterações conhecidas genericamente como tríade letal, o que contribui para um aumento marcado da taxa de mortalidade. Surgiu assim a cirurgia de controlo de danos que demonstrou um impacto positivo na sobrevida destes doentes, evitando cirurgias complexas e demoradas que aumentam ainda mais...
The major component of the red blood cells is hemoglobin A which consists of 2α- and 2β-globin chains encoded by α- and β-globin genes located in two different gene clusters (16p13.3 and 11p.15.5, respectively). Molecular defects (usually point mutation or short deletion) that give rise to a quantitative reduction of the corresponding globin chain, result in a hereditary hypochromic and microcytic anemia called...
Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA), one of the most common autosomal recessive hereditary anemia, is caused by a mutation in the β-globin gene (HBB:c.20A>T) on 11p15.5. This gives rise to a variant named HbS (with the ability to polymerize under certain conditions) as opposed to the normal adult HbA. Although being a monogenic disease, the clinical phenotype of SCA is heterogeneous, ranging from relatively mild to severe...
