Abstract excerpt
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive hemoglobinopathy characterized by increased cellular adhesiveness. Vaso-occlusion (VOC) is the most prevalent disease complication of SCD that could be altered by genetic factors. L-Selectin and integrin alpha 2 (ITGA2) are 2 adhesion molecules linked to vasculopathy and inflammation. The current study aimed at detecting the prevalence of genetic variants of...
