FLT1 and other candidate fetal haemoglobin modifying loci in sickle cell disease in African ancestries

Abstract Known fetal haemoglobin (HbF)-modulating loci explain 10–24% variation of HbF level in Africans with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), compared to 50% among Europeans. Here, we report fourteen candidate loci from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of HbF level in patients with SCD from Cameroo...
