Unique Polymorphisms at BCL11A, HBS1L-MYB and HBB Loci Associated with HbF in Kuwaiti Patients with Sickle Cell Disease
Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) in Kuwait have elevated HbF levels ranging from ~10–44%; however, the modulating factors are unclear. We investigated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at BCL11A, HBS1L-MYB and HBB with HbF levels in 237 Kuwaiti SCD patients, divided in...

description | Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) in Kuwait have elevated HbF levels ranging from ~10–44%; however, the modulating factors are unclear. We investigated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at BCL11A, HBS1L-MYB and HBB with HbF levels in 237 Kuwaiti SCD patients, divided into 3 subgroups according to their HbF levels. Illumina Ampliseq custom DNA panel was used for genotyping and confirmed by arrayed primer extension or Sanger sequencing. In the BCL11A locus, the CC genotype of rs7606173 [χ(2) = 16.5] and (GG) of rs10195871 [χ(2) = 15.0] were associated with Hb-F1 and HbF-2 subgroups, unlike rs1427404-T [χ(2) = 17.3], which showed the highest association across the three subgroups. HBS1L-MYB locus revealed 2 previously-described SNPs (rs66650371 [χ(2) = 9.5] and rs35795442 [χ(2) = 9.2]) and 2 previously-unreported SNPs, (rs13220662 [χ(2) = 6.2] and rs1406811 [χ(2) = 6.7]) that were associated with the HbF-3 subgroup, making this the key locus elevating HbF to the highest levels. HBB cluster variants were associated with lower levels of HbF (β = −1.1). We report four previously-unpublished variants showing significant association with HbF. Each of the three quantitative trait loci affects HbF levels differently; unique SNPs, especially in HBS1L-MYB, elevate HbF to the highest levels. |
