Genetic variation influencing hemoglobin levels and risk for anemia across populations
1 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration is the outcome of the interaction between genetic variation and environmental factors, including nutritional status, sex, age, and altitude. Genetic diversity influencing this protein is complex and varies widely across populations. Variants related to abnormal Hb or altered characteristics of the erythrocytes increase the risk for anemia. The most prevalent are related to the...
