FLT1 and other candidate fetal haemoglobin modifying loci in sickle cell disease in African ancestries
1 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Known fetal haemoglobin (HbF)-modulating loci explain 10–24% variation of HbF level in Africans with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), compared to 50% among Europeans. Here, we report fourteen candidate loci from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of HbF level in patients with SCD from Cameroon, Tanzania, and the United States of America. We present results of cell-based experiments for FLT1 candidate, demonstrating...
