Abstract excerpt
Hydroxyurea (HU) activates the γ-globin gene, resulting in increased Hb F synthesis. The SOX6 gene is a member of the Sox (Sry-type HMG box) family of transcription factors, characterized by minor groove binding domain. The DNA binding domain of this gene is encoded by exon 14. We assessed the relationship between response to HU and exon 14 of the SOX6 gene sequence variations in patients with non...
