Sickle Cell Disease Screening in Northern Nigeria: The Co-Existence of ÃÂ-Thalassemia Inheritance

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background: Despite the high burden of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in Nigeria, the underlying haemoglobinopathy profile remains uncertain. Although a number of urbanised areas have pilot hospital-based newborn screening programmes, the impact of the disease in rural areas is unknown. Methods: From January 2010 to December 2011 this community-based study screened children aged 0-60 months in 29 randomly selected loc...
