Genome wide association study of fetal hemoglobin in sickle cell anemia in Tanzania.
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is an important modulator of sickle cell disease (SCD). HbF has previously been shown to be affected by variants at three loci on chromosomes 2, 6 and 11, but it is likely that additional loci remain to be discovered.We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 1,213...
