Genes regulating fetal hemoglobin could be sickle cell treatment...

Scientists have discovered more than a dozen genes that regulate the production of fetal hemoglobin in people of African descent, which may be potential treatment targets for sickle cell disease (SCD). Their findings were reported in the study, “FLT1 and other candidate fetal haemoglobin modifying loci in sickle cell disease in African ancestries,” published in Nature Communications. SCD is caused by mutations in a gene that’s needed to make hem…
