0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE The clinical symptoms of hemoglobin disorders such as β-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia are significantly ameliorated by the persistent expression of γ-globin after birth. 24371119 2014
CUI: C0019045
Disease: Hemoglobinopathies
Hemoglobinopathies
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Fetal globin (gamma globin; HBG) is normally expressed during fetal life and prevents the clinical manifestations of beta hemoglobinopathies before birth. 24589264 2014
CUI: C0019045
Disease: Hemoglobinopathies
Hemoglobinopathies
0.100 GeneticVariation group BEFREE After nearly two decades of struggle, gene therapy for hemoglobinopathies using vectors carrying β or γ-globin gene has finally reached the clinical doorsteps. 24589262 2014
CUI: C0019045
Disease: Hemoglobinopathies
Hemoglobinopathies
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Thus Hb F is regulated in IBMFS by Xmn1-HBG2, as it is in the haemoglobinopathies. 23713742 2013
CUI: C0019045
Disease: Hemoglobinopathies
Hemoglobinopathies
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE The understanding of the developmental regulation of γ-globin gene expression was followed by the identification of a number of chemical compounds that can reactivate HbF synthesis in vitro and in vivo in patients with hemoglobin disorders. 21075284 2010
CUI: C0019045
Disease: Hemoglobinopathies
Hemoglobinopathies
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Pharmacological treatments designed to reactivate fetal γ-globin can lead to an effective and successful clinical outcome in patients with hemoglobinopathies. 20837550 2010
CUI: C0019045
Disease: Hemoglobinopathies
Hemoglobinopathies
0.100 GeneticVariation group BEFREE Qualitative hemoglobinopathies due to (G)gamma and (A)gamma chain structural variants, and quantitative hemoglobinopathies affecting the synthesis of HbF such as gamma-thalassemias, duplications, triplications, and even sextuplications of the gamma-globin genes, which may be detected in newborn blood lysates, have been described. 18379999 2008
CUI: C0019045
Disease: Hemoglobinopathies
Hemoglobinopathies
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE In hemoglobinopathies, treatment with demethylating agents leads to reactivation of fetal HbF (the gamma-globin gene locus also possibly being another target for reactivation in MDS), and thus, HbF may potentially act as surrogate marker for activity of decitabine. 16292549 2005

Disease: Hemoglobinopathies
Hemoglobinopathies
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE The method has additional potential for the study of gamma-globin mRNA levels or the frequency of adult NRBC (F cells) in patients with hemoglobinopathies. 12533814 2003
CUI: C0019045
Disease: Hemoglobinopathies
