Identification of novel γ-globin inducers among all potential erythroid druggable targets
3 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Human γ-globin is predominantly expressed in fetal liver erythroid cells during gestation from 2 nearly identical genes, HBG1 and HBG2, that are both perinatally silenced. Reactivation of these fetal genes in adult red blood cells can ameliorate many symptoms associated with the inherited β-globinopathies, sickle cell disease, and Cooley anemia. Although promising genetic strategies to reactivate the γ-globin...
