Additive associations of variants at the expression quantitative trait loci of TFR2 and EPO in a linkage disequilibrium block with hypochromic erythropoiesis

Taku Nakai, Kinuko Ohneda, Takanori Hidaka, Katsuyuki Sasaki, Shinichi Fujimaki, Tohru Fujiwara, Hideo Harigae, Masayuki P. Yamamoto, Fumiki Katsuoka, Norio Suzuki

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with erythrocyte traits and iron metabolism in a Japanese population, revealing a linkage disequilibrium block linked to hypochromic erythropoiesis.
