HBG2 -158 (C>T) polymorphism and its contribution to fetal hemoglobin variability in Iraqi Kurds with beta-thalassemia minor
PURPOSE: Hemoglobin (Hb) F% is increased in up to half of beta-thalassemia (β-thal) carriers. Several polymorphisms have been linked to such variability in different populations, including HBG2 - 158(C>T) (Xmn I polymorphism) on chromosome 11.
