TSH Receptor Reduces Hemoglobin S Polymerization, Increases Deformability and Adhesion of Sickle Erythrocytes
2023-06-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> SCD is a hereditary disorder caused by genetic mutation in the beta-globin gene, resulting in abnormal hemoglobin, HbS, that forms sickle-shaped erythrocytes. Patients with SCD have endocrine disorders and it was described that 7% of these patients have clinical hypothyroidism. Recent studies have shown that mature erythrocytes possess TSH receptors. Thus, we aimed to assess the effects of TS...
