Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>High fetal hemoglobin level is the most important predictor of favorable clinical outcome in sickle cell disease. We carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on estimated fetal beta globin RNA expression ratio (FGR) using blood RNA sequence data from 22,093 adult Icelanders. In addition to the well-known BCL11A, HBB/HBG2 and HBS1L-MYB loci, we found 33 loci associated with FGR...
