Structure-guided targeting of the GATAD2A-CHD4 interaction within the MBD2-NuRD complex results in high levels of HbF in adult erythroid cells

Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression is silenced postnatally in adult erythroid cells.

Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression is silenced postnatally in adult erythroid cells. Sufficiently increased expression of HbF has been shown to overcome the pathophysiologic sequelae of both sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia. As the MBD2a-NuRD chromatin remodeling complex…
