Also known as:

Comments: Associated with elevated HbF in the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD) (n=1275), as well as in an independent study sample acquired from the CSSCD, the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers Collaborative Data (CDATA) study, and the Thomas Jefferson University (n=254). Associated with HbF levels in individuals from Brazil with sickle cell disease (n=350). Associated with fewer pain events at baseline and after HU treatment in young patients with SCA (BABY HUG cohort), and with higher Hb levels at study entry [PMID: 23606168]. Associated with HbF levels, as well as risk of painful episodes in a pediatric cohort with sickle cell anemia from southeastern Brazil (n=250).

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
