Abstract excerpt
Fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) and fetal cell (FC) levels in adults show considerable variation and are influenced by several genetic variants; the major determinants appear to be unlinked to the beta-globin gene cluster. Recently, a trans-acting locus controlling Hb F and FC production has been mapped...
