Identification and Functional Analysis of Known and New Mutations in the Transcription Factor KLF1 Linked with β-Thalassemia-like Phenotypes
28 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
The erythroid transcriptional factor Krüppel-like factor 1 (KLF1) is a master regulator of erythropoiesis. Mutations that cause KLF1 haploinsufficiency have been linked to increased fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and hemoglobin A2 (HbA2) levels with ameliorative effects on the severity of β-thalassemia. With the aim of determining if KLF1 gene variations might play a role in the modulation of β-thalassemia, in this study...
