These studies are now being done by GWAS in 2 patient groups, examining both baseline HbF and the HbF response to hydroxyurea. Genetic modulation of sickle cell disease: Homozygosity for a single Î²-globin gene mutation (HBB; glu6val) causes sickle cell anemia.hese studies are now being done by GWAS in 2 patient groups, examining both baseline HbF and the HbF response to hydroxyurea.

Spiral Galaxies. Spiral galaxy M100. Spiral galaxies have three main components: a bulge, disk, and halo (see right). The bulge is a spherical structure found in the center of the galaxy. This feature mostly contains older stars. The disk is made up of dust, gas, and younger stars. The disk forms arm structures.
There is no universal naming convention for galaxies, as they are mostly catalogued before it is established whether the object is or isn't a galaxy. Mostly they are identified by their celestial coordinates together with the name of the observing project (HUDF, SDSS, 3C, CFHQS, NGC/IC, etc.).his is a general list of galaxies, for more specific lists, see lists of galaxies. Size (left) and distance (right) of a few well-known galaxies put to scale. This is an incomplete list that may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
