Palmaris Longus (PL) is a muscle of the forearm, i.e., not functionally necessary and does not exist in all people. It is a choice for tendon graft and investigating its prevalence is of clinical importance. During April-October 2009, 102 cadavers (78 males, 24 females) were bilaterally necropsied for PL exploration in Zanjan City, Iran. PL Absence (PLA) was observed in 37 (36.3%) cases (28 males, 9 females). PLA prevalence was similar in men (36%) and women (37.5%). Of PLA cases, 19 (51%) were unilateral (14 males, 5 females), and 18 (49%) were bilateral (14 males, 4 females). In conclusion, PLA prevalence of 36.3% in our population was similar to other studies conducted in Iran. We found no gender difference in PLA prevalence and its patterns. Due to geographical variability in PLA rate, future regional and national studies with more magnificent sample sizes are recommended to determine the prevalence and gender-specific patterns of PLA.

Abstract Background The quantification of hemoglobin A2 (Hb A2; α2δ2) is used as a valuable test to differentiate α- and ß-thal carriers in clinical laboratories. Therefore, the HBD (δ-globin) gene variants could result in reduced levels of Hb A2 and have implications for thalassemia screening programs. The aim of the present study was to predict the consequences of HBD gene variants identified in the Iranome project. Results The highest number of variants was in the Persian Gulf Islanders. The variants of p.Gln132Glu (HBD: c.394C>G), p.Gly17Arg (HBD: c.49G>C), p.Thr5Ile (HBD: c.14C>T), and p.Ala28Ser (HBD: c.82G>T) presented damage results in three or more prediction tools. In addition, it seems that the p.Gly30= (HBD: c.90C>T) decreases the use of authentic splice and, instead, creates a new donor splice site (DSS) or leads to the use of a cryptic DSS. Conclusions Most of these variants have been associated with a decrease in Hb A2 levels. Due to the high mutational diversity in the HBB gene in the Iranian population and the use of Hb A2 quantification to differentiate α- and ß-thal carriers among Iranian clinical laboratories, some attention should be taken to a possible co-inheritance of HBD gene variants to avoid the misdiagnosis of ß-thal carriers.
