KLF1 directly activates expression of the novel fetal globin repressor ZBTB7A/LRF in erythroid cells

Abstract: Genes encoding the human β-like hemoglobin proteins undergo a developmental switch from fetal γ-globin to adult β-globin expression around the time of birth. β-hemoglobinopathies, such as sickle-cell disease and β-thalassemia, result from mutations affecting the adult β-globin gene.
