    An erythroid enhancer of BCL11A subject to genetic variation determines fetal hemoglobin level (2013)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-10-12
    Description: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have ascertained numerous trait-associated common genetic variants, frequently localized to regulatory DNA. We found that common genetic variation at BCL11A associated with fetal hemoglobin (HbF) level lies in noncoding sequences decorated by an erythroid enhancer chromatin signature. Fine-mapping uncovers a motif-disrupting common variant associated with reduced transcription factor (TF) binding, modestly diminished BCL11A expression, and elevated HbF. The surrounding sequences function in vivo as a developmental stage-specific, lineage-restricted enhancer. Genome engineering reveals the enhancer is required in erythroid but not B-lymphoid cells for BCL11A expression. These findings illustrate how GWASs may expose functional variants of modest impact within causal elements essential for appropriate gene expression. We propose the GWAS-marked BCL11A enhancer represents an attractive target for therapeutic genome engineering for the beta-hemoglobinopathies.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4018826/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4018826/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bauer, Daniel E -- Kamran, Sophia C -- Lessard, Samuel -- Xu, Jian -- Fujiwara, Yuko -- Lin, Carrie -- Shao, Zhen -- Canver, Matthew C -- Smith, Elenoe C -- Pinello, Luca -- Sabo, Peter J -- Vierstra, Jeff -- Voit, Richard A -- Yuan, Guo-Cheng -- Porteus, Matthew H -- Stamatoyannopoulos, John A -- Lettre, Guillaume -- Orkin, Stuart H -- 123382/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- K08 DK093705/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- K08DK093705/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P01HL032262/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK049216/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30DK049216/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG005085/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL032259/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01HL032259/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U54HG004594/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54HG007010/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Oct 11;342(6155):253-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1242088.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Hematology/Oncology, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24115442" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Human fetal hemoglobin expression is regulated by the developmental stage-specific repressor BCL11A (2008)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-12-06
    Description: Differences in the amount of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) that persists into adulthood affect the severity of sickle cell disease and the beta-thalassemia syndromes. Genetic association studies have identified sequence variants in the gene BCL11A that influence HbF levels. Here, we examine BCL11A as a potential regulator of HbF expression. The high-HbF BCL11A genotype is associated with reduced BCL11A expression. Moreover, abundant expression of full-length forms of BCL11A is developmentally restricted to adult erythroid cells. Down-regulation of BCL11A expression in primary adult erythroid cells leads to robust HbF expression. Consistent with a direct role of BCL11A in globin gene regulation, we find that BCL11A occupies several discrete sites in the beta-globin gene cluster. BCL11A emerges as a therapeutic target for reactivation of HbF in beta-hemoglobin disorders.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sankaran, Vijay G -- Menne, Tobias F -- Xu, Jian -- Akie, Thomas E -- Lettre, Guillaume -- Van Handel, Ben -- Mikkola, Hanna K A -- Hirschhorn, Joel N -- Cantor, Alan B -- Orkin, Stuart H -- HL32259-27/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL32262-26/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Dec 19;322(5909):1839-42. doi: 10.1126/science.1165409.
