Influence of BCL11A, HBS1L-MYB, HBBP1 single nucleotide polymorphisms and the HBG2 XmnI polymorphism on Hb F levels

TLDR
In search of genetic alterations responsible for high fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) phenotypes in the population of eastern India, 91 probands were screened for four polymorphisms by sequencing and/or restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and the XmnI polymorphism showed the strongest association.
Abstract
In search of genetic alterations responsible for high fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) phenotypes in the population of eastern India, 91 probands were screened for four polymorphisms by sequencing and/or restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. These are the A>G allele on the rs4895441 locus in the intergenic region between HBS1L and MYB on chromosome 6, the G>A allele on the rs4671393 locus on chromosome 2 (BCL11A gene), the A>C allele on the rs2071348 (HBBP1 gene) and the XmnI polymorphism (rs7482144, -158 position of HBG2) on chromosome 11. We found a significant association (p = 0.002 and 0.0013) of Hb F levels with rs2071348 and rs4895441, respectively. However, the polymorphism rs4671393 gene did not show significant association with Hb F levels (p = 0.0655). As is well known, the XmnI polymorphism (p <0.0001) showed the strongest association.

Decitabine improves outcomes in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia and higher blast counts.

TL;DR: Hypomethylating agents such 5-azacytidine (AZA) and decitabine (DAC) have been used as “lower-intensity” therapy in older patients with AML and may be associated with outcomes similar to intensive therapy.

2SNP heritability and effects of genetic variants for neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio

TL;DR: It is established that two important biomarkers have a significant heritable SNP component, and a new genome-wide significant locus is identified on the HBS1L-MYB intergenic region for PLR, which replicated in a sample of 2538 British twins.

Variability of hemoglobin F expression in hemoglobin EE disease: hematological and molecular analysis.

TL;DR: Examining multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms in the β-globin gene cluster, BCL11A and HBS1L-MYB genes determined their associations with Hb F levels in Hb E disorder and demonstrated that multiple genetic modifying factors including T allele of (G)γ-XmnI polymorphism, G allele of HBS 1L- MYB, and C allele of BCL 11A are associated with increased HbF.

Functional polymorphisms of BCL11A and HBS1L-MYB genes affect both fetal hemoglobin level and clinical outcomes in a cohort of children with sickle cell anemia

TL;DR: Patients carrying HbF-boosting alleles of BCL11A and HMIP-2 were associated with milder clinical phenotypes, and higher HBF concentration may underlie this effect.

Major beta-globin gene mutations in eastern India and their associated haplotypes.

TL;DR: Haplotype analysis revealed a very strong linkage disequilibrium of IVS-1 pos 5 (G–C) with one particular haplotype and HbE was found to be associated with two major haplotype, which is the same as that found in the African population.
