Genetic disruption of the KLF1 gene to overexpress the γ‐globin gene using the CRISPR/Cas9 system
26 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: β-thalassemia comprises a major group of human genetic disorders involving a decrease in or an end to the normal synthesis of the β-globin chains of hemoglobin. KLF1 is a key regulatory molecule involved in the γ- to β-globin gene switching process directly inducing the expression of the β-globin gene and indirectly repressing γ-globin. The present study aimed to investigate the ability of an...
