Significance: This study suggests that 17α-E2, by down regulating the expression of its target gene, it may increase the levels of HbF. Thus, pharmacological formulations encompassing “17α-E2 or its analogues” may be used to treat: (1) Sickle cell disease ; (2) β-thalassemias; and (3) disease conditions that has lower levels of HbF.
