Circulating angiogenesis‐related biomarkers in sickle cell retinopathy and maculopathy
Summary Sickle cell disease (SCD), encompassing genotypes such as HbSS and HbSC, leads to retinal complications such as sickle cell retinopathy (SCR) and maculopathy (SCM) through poorly understood mechanisms. This study explored associations of a panel of circulating angiogenesis‐related factors with SCR and SCM.
