Environmental information from Mayne Bay on Barkley Sound, Vancouver Island, indicates that the Pacific hagfish, Polistotrema stouti (Lockington), occurs on substrates consisting mainly of silt and in water characterized by high near-bottom salinities (31–32‰) but low surface salinities (24‰) into which they occasionally swim. Near-bottom dissolved oxygen concentrations were low, an observation in harmony with the high oxygen affinity of hagfish hemoglobin.

An integrated geophysical data set has been used to develop structural models across the continental margin west of Vancouver Island, Canada. A modern accretionary complex underlies the continental slope and shelf and rests against and below the allochthonous Crescent and Pacific Rim terranes. These terranes in turn abut against the pre-Tertiary Wrangellia terrane that constitutes most of the island. Gravity and magnetic anomaly data, constrained by seismic reflection, seismic refraction, and other data, were interpreted to determine the offshore positions of these terranes and related features. Iterative 2.5-dimensional forward models of anomaly profiles were stepped laterally along the margin to extend areal coverage over a 70 km wide swath oriented normal to the tectonic features. An average model was then developed to represent this part of the margin. The Pacific Rim terrane appears to be continuous and close to the coastline along the length of Vancouver Island, consistent with emplacement by strike-slip motion along the margin. The Westcoast fault, the boundary between the Pacific Rim and Wrangellia terranes, is interpreted to be 15 km farther seaward than in previous interpretations in the region of Barkley Sound. The Crescent terrane forms a thin landward-dipping slab along the southern half of the Vancouver Island margin, and cannot be confirmed along the northern part. Model results suggest the slab has buckled into an anticline beneath southern Vancouver Island and Juan de Fuca Strait, uplifting high-density lower crustal or upper mantle material close to the surface to produce the observed intense positive gravity anomaly. This geometry is consistent with emplacement of the Crescent terrane by oblique subduction.

High Oxygen Affinity

High oxygen affinity haemoglobin variants are rare and often underdiagnosed in persistent erythrocytosis with no apparent aetiology. Here the author present a 29-year-old Indian male patient with a long-standing history of erythrocytosis which was incidentally detected. The proband had a prothrombotic family history of cerebral vessel stroke in his paternal grandfather at a young age and unexplained erythrocytosis in his father and brother. A review of his haemograms showed persistent high haemoglobin values. Routine tests did not reveal any specific aetiology and haemoglobin electrophoresis by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) showed absence of any abnormal peak or unstable haemoglobin. DNA sequencing of the β globin gene revealed heterozygosity for codon 20 {GTG→ATG, Valine (Val)→ Methionine (Met)} mutation confirming the presence of an electrophoretically silent Hb variant - Haemoglobin Olympia in him and his extended family members. This case study emphasises importance of this rare entity of high oxygen affinity haemoglobin variant as a differential diagnosis while screening for erythrocytosis. This is the first case report of Haemoglobin Olympia from India reported in the literature.

Abstract Hemoglobin Crete, beta129 (h7)ala leads to pro, is a new mutant hemoglobin (Hb) with high oxygen affinity that was discovered in a Greek family in various combinations with beta- and deltabeta- thalassemia. The propositus, who presented an unusual clinical picture of an “overcompensated” hemolytic state, with erythrocytosis, splenomegaly, abnormal red cell morphology, and marked erythroid hyperplasia, appeared doubly heterozygous for Hb Crete and deltabeta- thalassemia. His red cells contained 67% Hb Crete and 30% Hb F, and the combination of these two hemoglobins resulted in a blood P50O2 of 11.2 mm Hg. A brother with Hb Crete trait (38% Hb Crete, 56% Hb A, blood P50O2 23.0 mm Hg) did not have significant erythrocytosis. Purified Hb Crete was heat-unstable and exhibited a high oxygen affinity, and a normal Bohr effect. We postulate that the beta 129 proline substitution disrupts the H helix, perturbing nearby residues involved in alpha 1 beta 1 contact sites of the Hb tetramer.
