In the present study, certain mutated genes, including nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NFE2L2), catenin β1 (CTNNB1), MYCN, tumor protein p53, axis inhibition protein 1 (AXIN1) and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) were associated with the pathogenesis of HB. This evidence concerns the gene CTNNB1 and hemoglobin measurement.
