Altered fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels(1)  
Detail:
  • Target disease:
    Sickle Cell Anemia (DOID_10923)
    Effect type:
    Expressivity 
    Modifier effect:
    Altered fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels 
    Evidence:
    P=1.6×10(-4) 
    Effect:
    Fine-mapping of HbF association signals at these loci confirmed seven SNPs with independent effects and increased the explained heritable variation in HbF levels from 38.6% to 49.5%.

    Title:
    Fine-mapping at three loci known to affect fetal hemoglobin levels explains additional genetic variation.
    Species studied:
    Human
    Abstract:
    We used resequencing and genotyping in African Americans with sickle cell anemia (SCA) to characterize associations with fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels at the BCL11A, HBS1L-MYB and β-globin loci. Fine-mapping of HbF association signals at these loci confirmed seven SNPs with independent effects and increased the explained heritable variation in HbF levels from 38.6% to 49.5%. We also identified rare missense variants that causally implicate MYB in HbF production.
