Transcriptional regulators Myb and BCL11A interplay with DNA methyltransferase 1 in developmental silencing of embryonic and fetal β‐like globin genes
26 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
The clinical symptoms of hemoglobin disorders such as β-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia are significantly ameliorated by the persistent expression of γ-globin after birth. This knowledge has driven the discovery of important regulators that silence γ-globin postnatally. Improved understanding of the γ- to β-globin switching mechanism holds the key to devising targeted therapies for β-hemoglobinopathies. To...
