The influence of novel transcriptional regulatory element in intron 14 on the expression of Janus kinase 2 gene in myeloproliferative neoplasms
The expression of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) gene is altered in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and the regulation of transcription could be a mechanism that modulates JAK2 gene expression. We analyzed the transcri...

Functional analysis of a novel KLF1 gene promoter variation associated with hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin
Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is a rare hereditary condition resulting in elevated levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in adults. Typical HPFH is associated with promoter mutations or large de...
