  2. Polycythemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycythemia

    Chuvash erythrocytosis or Chuvash polycythemia is an autosomal recessive form of erythrocytosis endemic in patients from the Chuvash Republic in Russia. Chuvash erythrocytosis is associated with homozygosity for a C598T mutation in the von Hippel–Lindau gene ( VHL ), which is needed for the destruction of hypoxia-inducible factors in the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_elliptocytosis

    EL2 and EL3: The most common genetic defects (present in two-thirds of all cases of hereditary elliptocytosis) are in genes for the polypeptides α-spectrin or β-spectrin. These two polypeptides combine with one another in vivo to form an αβ heterodimer. These αβ heterodimers then combine to form spectrin tetramers. These spectrin ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobinopathy

    HbF is composed of two α globins and two γ globins (α 2 γ 2). [13] Adult Hb (HbA) is the predominant Hb in children by six months of age and onward; it constitutes 96-97% of total Hb in individuals without a hemoglobinopathy. It is composed of two α globins and two β globins (α 2 β 2). [14]

    These clathrin-coated pits are short lived and serve only to form a vesicle for transfer of particles to the lysosome. The clathrin-coated pit invaginates into the cytosol and forms a clathrin-coated vesicle. The clathrin proteins will then dissociate. [2] What is left is known as an early endosome. The early endosome merges with a late endosome.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Erythrocytosis

    I think merging is not a good idea. Because I think there is a real difference between Erythrocytosis and Polycytemia (Vera). While Erythrocytosis is present in every body but over over exposed in some bodies of good RBC, while Polycytemia (Vera) is a form caused by a defective DNA structure and need treatment.

  8. Alpha-thalassemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-thalassemia

    Normal adult hemoglobin is composed of four protein chains, two α and two β-globin chains arranged into a heterotetramer. In thalassemia, patients have defects in the noncoding region of either the α or β-globin genes, causing ineffective production of normal alpha- or beta-globin chains, which can lead to ineffective erythropoiesis ...

  9. Chromosomal crossover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_crossover

    Crossing over occurs between prophase I and metaphase I and is the process where two homologous non-sister chromatids pair up with each other and exchange different segments of genetic material to form two recombinant chromosome sister chromatids. It can also happen during mitotic division, [1] which may result in loss of heterozygosity.
