Description:
The HBS1L gene encodes a member of the GTP-binding elongation factor family. It is expressed in multiple tissues with the highest expression in heart and skeletal muscle. A single nucleotide polymorphism in exon 1 of the HBS1L gene is significantly associated with severity in beta-thalassaemia/Haemoglobin E. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been found for this gene.
The MYB gene encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the MYB family of transcription factor genes. The protein contains three domains, an N-terminal DNA-binding domain, a central transcriptional activation domain and a C-terminal domain involved in transcriptional repression. MYB protein plays an essential role in the regulation of haematopoiesis and may play a role in tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
This intergenic region (HBS1L-MYB) has been identified to be a quantitative trait locus (QTL) controlling fetal haemoglobin level, and has been shown to influnce erythrocyte, platelet, and monocyte counts as well as erythrocyte volume and hemoglobin content. DNA polymorphisms at this region associated with fetal haemoglobin levels and pain crises in sickle cell patients.
