We investigated the Krüppel-like factor 1 (KLF1) gene mutations in Chinese adults with increased Hb F levels (>1.5%) referred to our laboratory for thalassemia screening. Functionally effective KLF1 mutations were identified in five out of 140 samples with an elevated Hb F (1.9-11.4%). Only two different KLF1 mutations were detected. Functional KLF1 mutations were not identified in the matched cohort of 110...
