Modulation of the phenotypic diversity of sickle cell anemia.

M H Steinberg1.   

Abstract

Sickle cell anemia is noted for being phenotypically heterogeneous. This suggests that there are genetic influences that moderate the effects of the sickle hemoglobin mutation. In this review I focus on genetically determined modulation of hemoglobin concentration and fetal hemoglobin levels. Each of these variables has important influences upon sickle hemoglobin polymerization and the resulting pathophysiology.
