Induction of endogenous γ-globin gene expression with decoy oligonucleotide targeting Oct-1 transcription factor consensus sequence
27 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Human beta-globin disorders are relatively common genetic diseases cause by mutations in the beta-globin gene. Increasing the expression of the gamma-globin gene has great benefits in reducing complications associated with these diseases. The Oct-1 transcription factor is involved in the transcriptional regulation of the gamma-globin gene. The human gamma-globin genes (both Agamma and Ggamma-globin genes) carry...
