Abstract excerpt
Sickle cell disease has varied clinical symptoms, and patients having high fetal hemoglobin (HbF) have milder symptoms. Various genetic factors are known to modulate the HbF levels. Krüppel-like factor 1 (KLF1) is a transcription factor that regulates the beta-like globin gene expression. Any variation in KLF1 gene may alter the sickle cell disease phenotype. Xmn-I polymorphism is also known to regulate the gamma...
