Objective: Understanding the genetic origin of the Hb D-Los Angeles hemoglobin may elucidate population interactions such as movements, migrations, and environmental effects on mutation mechanisms in human biology throughout history. Our study aimed to understand the genetic origin of Hb D-Los Angeles based on haplotype data, observed in the Denizli province of Turkey.
Methods: We studied DNA samples from 40 unrelated patients with abnormal hemoglobin Hb D-Los Angeles and 59 unrelated healthy subjects from our DNA bank. Possible associated haplotypes, HWE, genetic diversity and population differentiation, population genetic structure analysis and historical-demographic analysis for the two populations were determined by Arlequin ver. 3.5.
Results: Molecular diversity results from the two populations show that both populations are genetically similar as far as development and expansion during the historical period. Historical gene flow results show high gene flow between the two populations. SSD and rg tests failed to reject the null hypothesis of population expansion which is consistent with unimodal distribution. Our estimated τ values show that the average time since the demographic expansion for normal and Hb D-Los Angeles populations ranged from approximately 42,000-38,000 ybp, respectively.
Conclusions: Our data suggest that the Hb D-Los Angeles population originated within the normal population in Denizli, Turkey. Our results support the hypothesis that the Hb D-Los Angeles mutation may have originated in the Mediterranean area, independent from other populations such as India and China. The evaluation of such data may contribute valuable information to anthropological, paleoclimatic, archaeological, and phylogeographical approaches to human biology throughout the historical period.

To determine the types and proportion of common hemoglobin variants in Tianjin and surrounding areas, to analyze the recognition ability and the effects of hemoglobin variants on experimental results in two commonly used glycated hemoglobin systems, so as to provide data support for the consistency of HbA1c detection in Tianjin City. A case-control study was used for retrospective analysis,156 specimens with abnormal electrophoretic peaks in the detection of glycated hemoglobin were collected from more than 50 000 specimens of patients in Chu Hsien-I Memorial Hospital of Tianjin Medical University between June 2020 and December 2020. Determined their hemoglobin mutation sites by DNA sequencing, and compared the values of hemoglobin variants on glycated hemoglobin detection values by high performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis.

Hemoglobin D-Los Angeles is a variant of hemoglobin that can polymerize in the deoxygenated state. When co-inherited with Hemoglobin S (HbSD-Los Angeles disease) a severe sickling syndrome similar to HbSS can result. Corona virus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-corona virus-2.

Objective To compare the 30-day complication rate associated with allograft versus autograft in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and to determine preoperative factors that may influence complication rate. Methods The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was retrospectively queried from 2014 to 2017 for all procedures with CPT codes for ACDF (22551). Patients undergoing ACDF with either autograft or allograft were matched by propensity scores based on age, sex, body mass index, and comorbidities.

We report a newborn with a compound heterozygosity for Hb O-Arab (: 364G>A) and Hb D-Los Angeles (: 364G>C). To the best of our knowledge, the combination of these two hemoglobin (Hb) variants has not been identified and reported before. The variants of the proband and parents were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE).
