Abstract
The switch from fetal to adult hemoglobin relies on repression or silencing of the upstream γ-globin gene, but identification of the transcriptional repressors that bind to the sites at which a cluster of naturally occurring variants associated with HPFH (hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin) are found has been elusive. A new study provides mechanistic evidence for the direct binding of BCL11A and ZBTB7A, two previously identified γ-globin gene repressors.
