Resumen
SOLER NODA, Gilberto y FORRELLAT BARRIOS, Mariela. Hereditary hemolytic anemias due to defective globin synthesis. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.3, e1099. Epub 01-Feb-2021. ISSN 0864-0289.
Introduction:
Genetic disorders in the hemoglobin molecule are divided into those that have a reduced rate of production of one or more globin chains, thalassemias; and those in which structural changes occur that lead to instability or abnormal oxygen transport.
Objective:
To explain the different mechanisms by which thalassemias and other alterations in the synthesis of globin chains occur, as well as molecular, physiopathogenic and hematological changes.
Methods:
A review of the literature in English and Spanish was carried out through the PubMed website and the Google Scholar search engine, searching for articles published in the last ten years. The revised bibliography was analyzed and summarized.
Information analysis and synthesis:
Thalassemias make up a heterogeneous group of genetic defects in the synthesis of hemoglobin, which causes a decrease in the rate of production of one or more chains of the molecule. According to the globin chain that presents the defect, they are divided into α-β-, δβ- or γδβ-thalassemias.
Conclusions:
Thalassemias and hemoglobinopathies are the most common hereditary hemolytic diseases in many parts of the world. They are characterized by complex interactions between anemia, ineffective erythropoiesis, and alterations in iron metabolism.
