He was looking for attention, He got it.

CAN YOU TRANSALATE TO ENGLISH PLEASE.

1. it is very possible, wad used as a case study in one of my classes here in LUTH
2. the fact that one is 'AA' doesn't mean there isnt a gene deletion somewhere in the globin chain . (hemoglobin is made up of globin and heme )
3.such deletion is transmissible and if it combines with HB S (which in this case is from the mother ) , will result in sickling
4. when tests (hb electrophoresis, sickling test )are carried out on the man, they will appear normal as it takes DNA analysis to detect the deletion
5. almost certain this is what happened as a paternity test ruled out infidelity
6 . hope I am clearer.

Demichaels:
My friend's 10 year Marriage is about to collapse.

His, my friend's genotype is AA and his wife's genotype is AS but their 4 year old daughter has been confirmed to have SS genotype by not less than 4 different medical experts. He confronted the wife and accused her of infidelity but she vehemently denied having any affair with another man. In other to prove her wrong, my friend subjected the little girl to a paternity test and there he got the shock of his life - the result showed he actually is the father of the girl. At first he accused the doctor of compromise because he is their family doctor and somehow relates to the wife. He then decided to go to another hospital to prove the paternity of the girl child there and then he got another shocker - the first result was actually correct. As It stands, my friend has consulted more than five other doctors outside the state of his residence and all Confirmed that the girl's genotype is SS and he actually is the father of the child despite his and the wife's genotype being as stated above. Even the doctor's are confused by the results as it negate conventional medical norm.

My question now is, experts in the house, is there anything that can lead to such unconventional biological flaw? Under what condition can AS and AA couple have an SS child? Can mutation lead to such condition? My friend insists on divorce because he doesn't believe the wife. Should he go ahead based on what we all know about genotype?


Please I need matured advice on this. This is a REAL LIFE SITUATION AND NO FICTION. I WOULD HAVE MENTIONED NAMES AND ADDRESS OF THE COUPLE BUT I DON'T HAVE THEIR PERMISSION YET. THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN PORT HARCOURT OLD GRA WE'RE LIVING

1. @Demichaels pls tell your friend to ask his
doctor to check him for alpha thalassemia
2. I am almost certain he has that.
3. alpha + thalassemia is usually harmless, it is
caused by alpha gene deletions or in some
cases dysfunctional alpha gene. However,
people (the child in this case ) who inherit
combinations of hb S (ie from the mother in this
case ) may have hemoglobin disorder.
4. Hemoglobin electrophoresis is normal, DNA
analysis is needed to be certain
5. Since a paternity test has been done here,
infidelity resulting to the birth of the child can
be safely ruled out.
6. This is simple Hematology.
7. Pls go to Hematology department LUTH to
confirm, you will meet my professors and
doctors, they are nice people
8. @ some nairaland peeps. pls if you are not
enlightened on a particular subject, pls read abt
it instead of judging people and using words
like "impossible"
9. I really hope you see this. it can save your
friend's marriage.

don't be surprised if its 3Million Naira

All these haemorrhagic fevers be having a field day. We have Ribavarin though unlike Ebola

[size=48]credit should be given to the governors of the states that curb Ebola. I disagree with jona. on this.[/size]

Ebola in Lagos was curbed mainly by the efforts of 'Community Health Department, College of Medicine of the University of Lagos' ..that is a federal institution.
The virus Sample was confirmed at the Chevron
research Laboratory at LUTH by Professor Omilabu (my lecturer)...another Federal institution.
Lagos State played her part but it was more of a Federal thing.

That bullet proof door actually works...

Can the same be said about you

Its a norm in the music industry especially when artistes are working on their albums.
Lots of songs are usually submitted by other artistes/songwriters, then the final selection is then made. your song may or may not make the list.
pretty sure lots of peeps don't know Rihanna "Diamonds" was written by Sia.

This is to bring to the notice of the appropriate authorities, the state of the above named stretch of road.
Construction has been ongoing for over two (2) years and the quality of work done to say the least is totally depressing.
Work has not been done for several months now and the project seems to be an abandoned one.
I will be posting pictures to support my complaint.
