Abstract excerpt
Disease severity of sickle cell anemia is highly variable, and it is commonly accepted that fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels play a major role as an ameliorating factor. Investigation of genetic variants have identified several genes to be the principal influencers of HbF regulation. Here, we further elucidated the association of rs4527238 and rs35685045 of ANTXR1 genes in the context of HbF level variance in sickle...
