摘要: Using a genome-wide association study, we found that common inter-individual differences in haemoglobin A(2) (HbA(2) , α(2) δ(2) ) levels are largely governed by genetic factors (42% of variability). The influence age (1%) and sex (4%) was small. HbA(2) were influenced two loci: the HBS1L-MYB locus on chromosome 6q, which has been shown to have pleiotropic effects other haematological traits; second surrounding HBB, gene encoding β-globin. Our results suggest adults different biological processes: one via kinetics erythropoiesis, other, competition between HBB HBD activity.
