Mi2β-mediated silencing of the fetal γ-globin gene in adult erythroid cells
27 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
An understanding of the human fetal to adult hemoglobin switch offers the potential to ameliorate β-type globin gene disorders such as sickle cell anemia and β-thalassemia through activation of the fetal γ-globin gene. Chromatin modifying complexes, including MBD2-NuRD and GATA-1/FOG-1/NuRD, play a role in γ-globin gene silencing, and Mi2β (CHD4) is a critical component of NuRD complexes. We observed that...
