Summaries for Hemoglobin E Disease

About this section
NIH Rare Diseases : 54 Hemoglobin E (HbE) disease is a mild, inheritedblood disorder characterized by an abnormal form of hemoglobin, called hemoglobin E. People with this condition may have very mild anemia, but the condition typically does not cause any symptoms. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is caused by a mutation in the HBB gene. The mutation that causes hemoglobin E disease primarily occurs in Southeast Asian populations, and rarely in Chinese populations. Most people with HbE disease do not need any treatment. 

MalaCards based summary : Hemoglobin E Disease, also known as hemoglobin e, is related to thalassemia and beta-thalassemia. An important gene associated with Hemoglobin E Disease is HBB (Hemoglobin Subunit Beta), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Response to elevated platelet cytosolic Ca2+ and Selenium Micronutrient Network. The drugs Artesunate and Mefloquine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include liver, bone and testes.
