Characterisation of two genetic loci involved in fetal haemoglobin production : BCLIIA and HBSIL-MYB intergenic region

The continuous production of fetal haemoglobin (HbF, a2Ya) into adulthood is an ameliorating factor in sickle cell disease and B-thalassemia. We have previously mapped two quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling HbF levels, one in intron 2 of BCL11A gene, and the other, an intergenic region on ch...
