Abstract excerpt
Krüppel-like factor 1 (KLF1) is a pleiotropic erythroid transcription factor that is a regulator of definitive erythropoiesis. The aim of this study was to detect KLF1 gene variants in α-thalassemia (α-thal) carriers with an increased Hb F level in a Chinese population, and determine the changes of hematological parameters as a result of interactions between KLF1 gene mutations and α-thal. Subjects with α-thal...
