-	[~~[http~~://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HBA_HUMAN HBA_HUMAN]] Defects in HBA1 may be a cause of Heinz body anemias (HEIBAN) [MIM:[~~http~~://omim.org/entry/140700 140700]]. This is a form of non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia of Dacie type 1. After splenectomy, which has little benefit, basophilic inclusions called Heinz bodies are demonstrable in the erythrocytes. Before splenectomy, diffuse or punctate basophilia may be evident. Most of these cases are probably instances of hemoglobinopathy. The hemoglobin demonstrates heat lability. Heinz bodies are observed also with the Ivemark syndrome (asplenia with cardiovascular anomalies) and with glutathione peroxidase deficiency.<ref>PMID:2833478</ref> Defects in HBA1 are the cause of alpha-thalassemia (A-THAL) [MIM:[~~http~~://omim.org/entry/604131 604131]]. The thalassemias are the most common monogenic diseases and occur mostly in Mediterranean and Southeast Asian populations. The hallmark of alpha-thalassemia is an imbalance in globin-chain production in the adult HbA molecule. The level of alpha chain production can range from none to very nearly normal levels. Deletion of both copies of each of the two alpha-globin genes causes alpha(0)-thalassemia, also known as homozygous alpha thalassemia. Due to the complete absence of alpha chains, the predominant fetal hemoglobin is a tetramer of gamma-chains (Bart hemoglobin) that has essentially no oxygen carrying capacity. This causes oxygen starvation in the fetal tissues leading to prenatal lethality or early neonatal death. The loss of three alpha genes results in high levels of a tetramer of four beta chains (hemoglobin H), causing a severe and life-threatening anemia known as hemoglobin H disease. Untreated, most patients die in childhood or early adolescence. The loss of two alpha genes results in mild alpha-thalassemia, also known as heterozygous alpha-thalassemia. Affected individuals have small red cells and a mild anemia (microcytosis). If three of the four alpha-globin genes are functional, individuals are completely asymptomatic. Some rare forms of alpha-thalassemia are due to point mutations (non-deletional alpha-thalassemia). The thalassemic phenotype is due to unstable globin alpha chains that are rapidly catabolized prior to formation of the alpha-beta heterotetramers. Note=Alpha(0)-thalassemia is associated with non-immune hydrops fetalis, a generalized edema of the fetus with fluid accumulation in the body cavities due to non-immune causes. Non-immune hydrops fetalis is not a diagnosis in itself but a symptom, a feature of many genetic disorders, and the end-stage of a wide variety of disorders.

		+	Human hemoglobin (HbA) transports molecular oxygen (O2) from the lung to tissues where the partial pressure of O2 is lower. O2 binds to HbA at the heme cofactor and is stabilized by a distal histidine (HisE7). HisE7 has been observed to occupy opened and closed conformations, and is postulated to act as a gate controlling the binding/release of O2. However, it has been suggested that HbA also contains intraprotein oxygen channels for entrances/exits far from the heme. In this study, we developed a novel method of crystal immersion in liquid oxygen prior to X-ray data collection. In the crystals immersed in liquid oxygen, the heme center was oxidized to generate aquomethemoglobin. Increases of structural flexibility were also observed in regions that are synonymous with previously postulated oxygen channels. These regions also correspond to medically relevant mutations which affect O2 affinity. The way HbA utilizes these O2 channels could have a profound impact on understanding the relationship of HbA O2 transport within these disease conditions. Finally, the liquid oxygen immersion technique can be utilized as a new tool to crystallographically examine proteins and protein complexes which utilize O2 for enzyme catalysis or transport.
