Studies on the Hemoglobin of Cooley's Anemia and Cooley's Trait [PDF]
The diseases sickle cell anemia and Cooley's anemia (also known as thalassemia or Mediterranean anemia) have associated with them "minor" or "trait" forms of the disease in which the symptomatology is minimal, and the abnormalities in the red cells are ...

Reactivating Fetal Hemoglobin Expression in Human Adult Erythroblasts Through BCL11A Knockdown Using Targeted Endonucleases. [PDF]
We examined the efficiency, specificity, and mutational signatures of zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcriptional activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9 systems designed to

Fetal hemoglobin silencing in humans
AbstractInterruption of the normal fetal-to-adult transition of hemoglobin expression should largely ameliorate sickle cell and beta-thalassemia syndromes. Achievement of this clinical goal requires a robust understanding of gamma-globin gene and protein silencing during human development.

Abnormal hemoglobins in Malta : the significance of two fetal and an adult variant [PDF]
The study of human hemoglobin variants has a special place in hemoglobin research. The discovery of hemoglobin F (Malta) by Cauchi et al. (1969) and the high incidence of this hemoglobin in Maltese newborns gave us the opportunity to initiate a ...

Joint analysis of functional genomic data and genome-wide association studies of 18 human traits
Annotations of gene structures and regulatory elements can inform genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, choosing the relevant annotations for interpreting an association study of a given trait remains challenging.

Disorders of the synthesis of human fetal hemoglobin [PDF]
AbstractFetal hemoglobin (HbF), the predominant hemoglobin in the fetus, is a mixture of two molecular species (α2Gγ2 and α2Aγ2) that differ only at position 136 reflecting the products of two nonallelic γ‐globin genes. At the time of birth, HbF accounts for ∼70% of the total Hb.

Haptoglobin Phenotype, Preeclampsia Risk and the Efficacy of Vitamin C and E Supplementation to Prevent Preeclampsia in a Racially Diverse Population [PDF]
Haptoglobin's (Hp) antioxidant and pro-angiogenic properties differ between the 1-1, 2-1, and 2-2 phenotypes. Hp phenotype affects cardiovascular disease risk and treatment response to antioxidant vitamins in some non-pregnant populations.

Variants of hemoglobin F and observations on hemoglobin F (Malta) [PDF]
The major hemoglobin component found in the blood of humans at birth is fetal hemoglobin, hemoglobin F. In common with most other human hemoglobins it has a tetrameric structure, each molecule being made up of two different pairs of polypeptide chains ...
