Abstract excerpt
Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is a rare hereditary condition resulting in elevated levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in adults. Typical HPFH is associated with promoter mutations or large deletions affecting the human fetal globin (HBG1 and HBG2) genes, while genetic defects in other genes involved in human erythropoiesis, e.g. KLF1, also result in atypical HPFH. Here, we report the first KLF1...
