Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Sickle cell clinics at various universities and hospitals.

You may qualify if:

  • Sickle cell disease (i.e. Hgb SS, Hgb SC, Sβ-Thalassemia)
  • Individuals at baseline/steady state (absence of fever or acute sickle event, defined as vaso-occlusive pain crises, acute chest syndrome, splenic sequestration, stroke, priapism) for three weeks.
  • Adult Subjects \> 18 years of age: ability to consent to donate blood and/or urine for research purposes only.
  • Newborn to \< 18 years of age: ability of parent/legal guardian to consent for peripheral blood and/or urine samples to be obtained for research purposes only.

You may not qualify if:

  • Hematologic malignancy
  • Patients that either do not have the ability to undergo the informed consent process or whose parent/legal guardian does not have the ability to undergo the informed consent process
