Abstract excerpt
Hb F production is under the influence of major quantitative trait loci (QTL). The present study aims: i) to replicate the association with Hb F for representative genetic variants in the three major Hb F QTLs in a Portuguese sample of β-thalassemia (β-thal) carriers; and ii) to test different genetic multi-locus models to account for the genetic component of Hb F variation. A population sample of 79 Portuguese...
