Abstract excerpt
The XmnI Gg -158 C/T polymorphism has been widely associated with fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels, the severity of disease, and the response to the drug hydroxyurea (HU) in both β-thalassemia (β-thal) and sickle cell disease (SCD) patients. However, the functional significance of this single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) remains unclear. To gain insight, green fluorescence protein (GFP) cassettes harboring the XmnI...
