Evidence that Microdeletions in the α Globin Gene Protect Against the Development of Sickle Cell Glomerulopathy in Humans
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
There is a large variability in the severity of the clinical manifestations of sickle cell anemia (SSA), including renal involvement. Haplotypes in the beta-globin gene cluster associated with the geographical origin of the sickle mutation, as well as microdeletions in the alpha-globin genes, could provide an epigenetic influence on the heterogeneous outcome in SSA. It has been determined that the cause of...
