Abstract excerpt
Kruppel-like factor 1 (KLF1) is an essential erythroid-specific transcription factor. Several reports have shown that KLF1 gene mutations are associated with increased levels of Hb F and Hb A2. However, scarce population studies have analysed common KLF1 variations. This study examines the potential association with Hb F and Hb A2 levels in β-thalassemia (β-thal) carriers of Portugueseancestry of the four common...
