Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited disorders caused by mutations in HBB, which encodes haemoglobin subunit 尾. The incidence is estimated to be between 300,000 and 400,000 neonates globally each year, the majority in sub-Saharan Africa. Haemoglobin molecules that include mutant ...
Sickle Cell Disease (Clinical) Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of genetic disorders in which an abnormal Hb molecule (Hb S) transforms RBCs into sickle-shaped cells, resulting in chronic anemia, vasoocclusive episodes, pain, and organ damage. Sickle cell trait, which is the heterozygous...
Incidence of homozygous sickle cell disease in the USA is 1 in 625 births. Prevalence is lower in the Mediterranean basin, Saudi Arabia, and parts of India [2]. Genes 11p15.5; due to a single point mutatio ... Citations Other actions Reprints and Permissions Export citation About this...
Sickle cell disease (SCD) does not occur in the indigenous German population. However, with the increasing numbers of immigrants its prevalence is steadily rising. Nevertheless, robust epidemiological data is not available for Germany and, consequently, the German newborn screening (NBS) program does...
Objective: To identify the incidence of alloimmunization in sicklecell disease patients, as well as autoantibodies and the phenotypicprofile of these patients for the following erythrocyte antigengroups: Rh, Kell, Kidd, Duffy and MNS. Methods: fifty-sevenpatients were evaluated during follow-up at ...

Etavopivat, Novo Nordisk’s investigational oral therapy for sickle cell disease (SCD), may reduce the incidence of vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) and increase hemoglobin levels. That’s according to data from the phase 2 part of the Phase 2/3 HIBISCUS trial (NCT04624659), which is assessing...
Painful vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) remains the most common reason for presenting to the Emergency Department and hospitalization in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Although two new agents have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration f
Fig. 1. Roles of the innate and adaptive immune system in the pathogenesis of sickle cell disease. 1)Activity of the alternative complement pathway (especially the factor B) and the formation of circulating immune complexes is increased in SCD patients. As well as this, some complications in ...
