Abstract excerpt
Sickle cell nephropathy (SCN) is a common complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality. In addition to clinical and life-style factors, genetic variants influence this risk. We performed a systematic review, searching five databases. Studies evaluating the effect of genetic modifiers on SCN were eligible. Twenty-eight studies (fair-to-good quality) were...
