Abstract excerpt
Heterogeneity of HbF levels in β0-thalassemia/HbE disease has been reported to be associated with variations in clinical manifestations of the disease, and several genetic-modifying factors beyond the β-globin gene cluster have been identified as HbF regulators. Down-regulation or heterozygous mutations of Krüppel-like factor 1 (KLF1) is associated with elevated HbF levels in non-thalassemia subjects. This study...
