Abstract excerpt
KLF1 encodes an erythroid transcription factor, whose essential function in erythropoiesis has been demonstrated by extensive studies in mouse models. The first reported mutations in human KLF1 were found in individuals with a rare and asymptomatic blood type called In(Lu). Here, we show that KLF1 haploinsufficiency is responsible for the In(Lu) blood type, after redefining this peculiar blood type using flow...
