Genetic modifiers of Hb E/β<sup>0 </sup>thalassemia identified by a two-stage genome-wide association study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Patients with Hb E/β<sup>0 </sup>thalassemia display remarkable variability in disease severity. To identify genetic modifiers influencing disease severity, we conducted a two-stage genome scan in groups of 207 mild and 3...
