modifies BCL11A Fetal Hemoglobin Quantitative Trait Locus 5 Request inclusion into relevant ontology BCL-11A Gene Link to "Hereditary Persistence of fetal hemoglobin". http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/53335 BAF Chromatin Remodeling Complex Subunit BCL11A Gene B-cell CLL/lymphoma 11A Gene B-cell CLL/lymphoma 11A (zinc finger protein) B-Cell CLL/Lymphoma 11A Gene This gene encodes a C2H2 type zinc-finger protein by its similarity to the mouse Bcl11a/Evi9 protein. During hematopoietic cell differentiation, this gene is down-regulated. It is possibly involved in lymphoma pathogenesis since translocations associated with B-cell malignancies also deregulates its expression. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. BCL11A Gene Not relevant to context of sickle cell HBFQTL5 Non-Globin Gene Hemoglobin F Level
