NCT04839159

Brief Summary

Sickle cell disease is associated with significant morbi-mortality hence the interest in an early and targeted care. At present, there is no plasmatic marker able to identify infants at higher risk of developping severe complications later in life. However, recent studies have demonstrated a correlation between certain complications of the disease and biomarkers of the endothelial dysfunction characterizing it. Investigators prospectively followed a cohort of children diagnosed with SCD through the universal neonatal screening using inflammatory and haemostatic plasmatic markers to study their annual evolution. Investigators then will evaluate potential associations between these biological markers and the occurrence of SCD related complications. A secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the repercussions of therapeutic intervention on these markers. .
