Ratio of sickle-cell anemia hemoglobin to normal hemoglobin in sicklemics [PDF]
It has been observed that all of the erythrocytes of individuals with sickle-cell trait undergo sickling and that a greater reduction in partial pressure of oxygen is required to produce complete sickling in sickle-cell trait erythrocytes than in those ...

ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell anemia (SCA) may influence malaria susceptibility and clinical outcomes in endemic regions. However, the interaction between hemoglobin genotypes and malaria severity remain poorly defined in endemic African settings, particulary in Angola, where SCA and malaria impose a substantial public health burden.

Genotypes of sickle cell disease
In this chapter, we will discuss the genotypes and phenotypes associated with the sickle syndromes. There are four major genotypes for sickle diseases, including sickle cell trait, sickle cell anemia, and compound sickle-cell-beta-thalassemia and sickle ...

Association of Three HIF‐1α Genotypes With Susceptibility and Severity of Chronic Kidney Disease
ABSTRACT Hypoxic signaling is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Hypoxia‐Inducible Factor 1 (HIF‐1) is a transcription factor that is highly expressed in the kidney and is associated with renal tubular hypoxic adaptation. Variation in the HIF‐1α subunit gene has been associated with renal pathologies.

ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic and life‐limiting hemoglobin and systemic vascular disease. While over 1000 people have undergone hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) over the last 40 years, long‐term disease‐specific and health‐related quality of life data are lacking.

Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...
