MicroRNA-15a and -16-1 act via MYB to elevate fetal hemoglobin expression in human trisomy 13
4 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Many human aneuploidy syndromes have unique phenotypic consequences, but in most instances it is unclear whether these phenotypes are attributable to alterations in the dosage of specific genes. In human trisomy 13, there is delayed switching and persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and elevation of embryonic hemoglobin in newborns. Using partial trisomy cases, we mapped this trait to chromosomal band 13q14; by...
