Abstract excerpt
Programmed silencing of γ-globin genes in adult erythropoiesis is mediated by several chromatin remodeling complexes, which determine the stage-specific genome architecture in this region. Identification of cis- or trans-acting mutations contributing to the diverse extent of fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) might illustrate the underlying mechanism of γ-β-globin switching. Here, we recruit a cohort of 1142 β-thalassemia...
