Abstract excerpt
High level of Hb F has been shown to improve survival in sickle cell disease. Among 453 Cameroonians with sickle cell disease, we have investigated 18 selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in novel and suggestive loci associated with Hb F level identified through a genomewide association study in sickle cell disease patients in Tanzania, and whole-genome sequencing of a population from Sardinia.
