Functional polymorphisms of BCL11A and HBS1L-MYB genes affect both fetal hemoglobin level and clinical outcomes in a cohort of children with sickle cell anemia

In conclusion, patients carrying HbF-boosting alleles ofBCL11A and HMIP-2 were associated with milder clinical phenotypes. Higher HbF concentration may underlie this effect.
