Abstract excerpt
Krüppel-like factor 1 (KLF1/EKLF) is a transcription factor that globally activates genes involved in erythroid cell development. Various mutations are identified in the human KLF1 gene. The E325K mutation causes congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) type IV, characterized by severe anemia and non-erythroid-cell-related symptoms. The CDA mutation is in the second zinc finger of KLF1 at a position functionally...
