Also known as:

Comments: SNP associated with HbF levels and F-cell number variation in healthy Northern Europeans (TwinsUK cohort) and in individuals of African ancestry with sickle cell disease from the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease and the Silent Infarct Transfusion (SIT) Trial cohort. Associated with HbF levels in individuals from Thailand with heterozygous HbE and β-thalassemia.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
