G to A substitution in the distal CCAAT box of the A gamma-globin gene in Greek hereditary persistence of fetal haemoglobin.
TL;DR: The first report of a natural mutation of the CCAAT box in a eukaryotic gene is reported in an individual with the Aγ (Greek) type of hereditary persistence of fetal haemoglobin (HPFH), suggesting that the C CAAT box (or its surrounding sequences) may have a role in the developmental control of γ-globin genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells mediated by thrombopoietin.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that TPO can mediate the self-replication of HSC in LTBMC, and provide proof that HSC can self-Replication ex vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the megakaryocyte glycoprotein IX promoter identifies positive and negative regulatory domains and functional GATA and Ets sites.
TL;DR: Results provide a framework for comparison of the GPIX promoter with others of the GPIb-V-IX system, other megakaryocyte-specific genes, and other members of the leucine-rich repeat family.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of the J chain gene during B cell differentiation is inversely correlated with DNA methylation.
TL;DR: The primary encounter of a B cell with antigen must trigger events that effect J chain gene transcription through a mechanism involving loss of methyl groups from cytosine, which represents a specific differentiation-induced response.

TL;DR: Investigation of the chromatin structure of the human alpha-globin gene cluster in fetal and adult erythroid cells shows that DNase I-hypersensitive sites exist at the 5' ends of the alpha 1- and alpha 2-globar genes as well as at several other sites in the cluster in all erystroid cells examined.
