Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is a condition with significant fetal hemoglobin (HbF) production which continues in adulthood. This is usually caused by mutations in the β- or α-globin gene cluster or the γ promoter gene region.

Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is a benign condition in which increased fetal hemoglobin (hemoglobin F, HbF) production continues well into adulthood, disregarding the normal shutoff point after which only adult-type hemoglobin should be produced. [1]

Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin (HPFH) is a rare benign asymptomatic genetic disorder where the HbF persists, and incidentally discovered on screening for other hemoglobinopathies.

2020年1月6日 · Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is the most dominant form of hemoglobin (Hb) in fetuses and persists until birth, at which time the production of adult Hb is upregulated. Both fetal and adult Hb...

HPFH can be diagnosed by looking at the levels of different types of hemoglobin in the blood. If hemoglobin F levels stay unusually high beyond infancy, it can indicate HPFH. Testing is usually more accurate when children are older. Genetic testing may be done to confirm HPFH. Other rare conditions can sometimes cause high hemoglobin F levels.

2016年9月20日 · Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is a condition in some individuals who have a high level of fetal hemoglobin throughout life. Individuals with compound heterozygous β-thalassemia or sickle cell disease (SCD) and …

2008年11月16日 · Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is a result of mutations that prevent the silencing of the g-globin genes during the adult stage of definitive erythropoiesis. Two types of HPFH are recognized, deletional HPFH and non-deletional HPFH.

Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is a condition in some individuals who have a high level of fetal hemoglobin throughout life. Individuals with compound heterozygous β-thalassemia or sickle cell disease (SCD) and HPFH have milder clinical manifestations.

2020年7月1日 · Inspired by this natural phenomenon, we screened the proximal promoter of human HBG genes using adenine and cytosine base editors to identify other nucleotide substitutions that could potentially lead to elevated levels of fetal globin.
