Abnormal haemoglobin in Finnsheep.

F Atroshi, G Lindström, S Osterberg

    Medical Biology
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    An abnormal hemoglobin (Hb) type was identified in a Finnish ewe and one lamb. This discovery may link to HbC found in Norwegian breeds and Merino sheep.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Science
    • Animal Genetics
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Hemoglobin variants can impact animal health and productivity.
    • Previous reports indicate specific hemoglobin types in Norwegian and Merino sheep breeds.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the identification of an abnormal hemoglobin type in Finnish sheep.
    • To compare this novel hemoglobin type with known variants in other sheep breeds.

    Main Methods:

    • Hemoglobin analysis was performed on affected Finnish sheep (ewe and lamb).
    • Comparative analysis with documented hemoglobin types, including HbC, was conducted.

    Main Results:

    • An abnormal hemoglobin type was detected in one Finnish ewe and one of her lambs.

  • The identified hemoglobin appears similar to HbC previously reported in Norwegian and Merino sheep.

    • Conclusions:

    • A novel abnormal hemoglobin type exists in the Finnish sheep breed.
    • This finding suggests a potential shared genetic basis or convergent evolution of hemoglobin abnormalities across different sheep populations.
