Understanding regulation of zeta-globin transcription as the first step towards embryonic globin induction in patients with severe alpha-thalassemia

Alternative title:
Regulation of zeta-globin transcription
Abstract:

It is estimated by the World Health Organization that 250,000 individuals with severe hemoglobinopathies are born each year. A significant proportion of these suffer from @alpha;-thalassemia, which is one of the most common human monogenic disorders known with a carrier rate of >1% among all tropical and subtropical populations that have been studied. A common cause of alpha-thalassemia is an intra chromosomal deletion, termed the Southeast Asian (SEA) deletion, which removes both a...
