Abstract excerpt
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) plays a central role in mitigating the pathophysiological effects of sickle cell disease (SCD). Understanding the genetic determinants influencing HbF expression is essential for identifying the factors contributing to its modulation. This review provides an updated synthesis of evidence on HbF modulation, focusing on βs haplotypes and their molecular characterization through Sanger...
