Abstract excerpt
The HbF level is a quantitative trait influenced by many loci inside or outside the beta-globin gene cluster. The aim of this study was to analyze in 57 beta-thalassemia intermedia patients with very various genotypes the effects on fetal hemoglobin levels of SNPs lying in three genes or chromosome regions which include the XmnI (G)gamma polymorphism at position -158 of the HBG2 promoter (rs7482144), two SNPs...
