Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of upregulating fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in the context of β-hemoglobinopathies therapy?

  • To mitigate the symptoms of β-thalassemia and sickle cell diseases (correct)
  • To decrease the production of fetal hemoglobin
  • To promote the development of β-hemoglobinopathies
  • To increase the expression of BCL11A

    • What is the main goal of the study mentioned in the text?

  • To validate factors responsible for globin switching (correct)
  • To investigate the impact of BCL11A knockdown on unrelated genetic pathways
  • To develop experimental ways to decrease HbF upregulation
  • To identify potential regulators responsible for downregulating fetal hemoglobin

    • What is the significance of ablating BCL11A in relation to globin switching?
