Abstract excerpt
The C/EBPE gene, located in 14q11.2, encodes for a B/zip-type transcription factor. The C/EBPɛ is involved in terminal differentiation and functional maturity of granulocyte progenitor cells and in cell apoptosis during myeloid differentiation. A C/EBPE gene has recently been described as a candidate gene involved in clinical variability of β-thalassemia (β-thal). In this study, the C/EBPE gene was sequenced in...
