Abstract excerpt
Though the patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) inherit same genetic mutation, they show considerable phenotypic heterogeneity. It has been observed that patients with elevated fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels have a relatively mild clinical course. There is sparse literature on the association of higher HbF levels leading to reduction in the oxidative stress in SCA patients. Hence in this study, the significance...
