Also known as:

Comments: Associated with HbF levels in healthy Northern Europeans (TwinUK cohort; n=2041). Associated with variation in HbF/F-cells in the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD; n=1032), and in individuals from Tanzania (n=1022) and China (n=312) with sickle cell disease and/or β-thalassaemia. Associated with increased HbF levels as well as clinical outcomes (risk of acute chest syndrome) in pediatric patients with SCA from southeastern Brazil (n=250). Associated with increased HbF levels and with mean corpuscular volume in a Nigerian cohort with SCD (n=260).

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
