Sickle-cell anaemia (SCA) is a clinically heterogeneous autosomal recessive monogenic chronic anaemia characterized by recurrent episodes of severe vaso-occlusion, haemolysis and infection. Several genetic and environmental modifiers have been suggested to modulate the onset and course of SCA. As part of a wider research on the development and validation of vaso-occlusion early predictors in SCA, we have studi...
The major component of the red blood cells is hemoglobin A which consists of 2α- and 2β-globin chains encoded by α- and β-globin genes located in two different gene clusters (16p13.3 and 11p.15.5, respectively). Molecular defects (usually point mutation or short deletion) that give rise to a quantitative reduction of the corresponding globin chain, result in a hereditary hypochromic and microcytic anemia called...
