Cd60 (GTG?>?GAG)/Hb Cagliari mutation was found in scanning of ?-thalassemia alleles from patients of East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

ABSTRACT: Background and purpose:Thalassemia is a genetic disorder with a fairly high prevalence worldwide. Three to 10% of Indonesian people are estimated to be carriers for thalassemia. This study was intended to figure out the spectrum of genetic mutations of patients with thalassemia in Samarinda City, East Kalimantan. Methods:The research subjects consisted of 31 ?-thalassemia patients registered with the Association of Thalassemia Patients' Parents (POPTI) of Samarinda. DNAs were extracted from the patients' blood samples then amplified by the direct sequencing technique with polymerase chain reaction to analyze ?-globin gene mutations. Result:The study results show that the male/female ratio was 51.6%:48.4%, the patients' ages ranged from 4?years to 56?years with an average age of 14?years, and the dominant ethnic group was Javanese (64.5%). The DNA analysis yielded 7 types of mutant alleles, namely Cd26/HbE (GAG>AAG) at 48.4%, IVS-1-5 (G?>?C) at 14.5%, IVS-1-2 (T?>?C) at 12.9%, Cd35 (-C) at 8.1%, IVS-1-1 (G?>?T) at 6.5%, and, the least frequently encountered mutant alleles, Cd30 (AGG?>?ACG) and Cd60 (GTG?>?GAG) each at 3.2%. Conclusion:This study discovered unreported mutant in Indonesia, namely Cd60 (GTG?>?GAG).

Project description:BackgroundDengue fever is a febrile disease caused by dengue virus (DENV), which affects people throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, including Indonesia. East Kalimantan (Borneo) province suffered a dramatic increase in dengue cases in 2015 and 2016, making it the province with the second highest incidence of dengue in Indonesia. Despite this, dengue in East Kalimantan is understudied; leaving transmission dynamics of the disease in the area are mostly unknown. In this study, we investigate the factors contributing to the outbreaks in East Kalimantan.MethodsProspective clinical and molecular virology study was conducted in two main cities in the province, namely Samarinda and Balikpapan, in 2015-2016. Patients' clinical, hematological, and demographic data were recorded. Dengue detection and confirmation was performed using NS1-antigen and IgG/IgM antibody detection. RT-PCR was conducted to determine the serotypes of the virus. Phylogenetic analysis was performed based on envelope gene sequences.ResultsThree hundred patients with suspected dengue were recruited. Among these, 132 (44%) were diagnosed with dengue by NS1 antigen and/or nucleic acid detection. The majority of the infections (60%) were primary, with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) the predominant manifestation (71.9%). Serotyping detected all four DENV serotypes in 112 (37.3%) cases, with the majority of patients (58.9%) infected by DENV-3. Phylogenetic analysis based on envelope gene sequences revealed the genotypes of the viruses as DENV-1 Genotype I, DENV-2 Cosmopolitan, and DENV-3 Genotype I. Most virus strains were closely-related to strains from cities in Indonesia.ConclusionsOur observations indicate that multiple introductions of endemic DENV from surrounding cities in Indonesia, coupled with relatively low herd immunity, were likely responsible for the outbreak of the dominant viruses. The study provides information on the clinical spectrum of the disease, together with serology, viral genetics, and demographic data, which will be useful for better understanding of dengue disease in Borneo.
