Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a Mendelian disease characterized by multigenic phenotypes. Previous reports indicated a higher rate of thromboembolic events (TEEs) in SCD patients. A number of candidate polymorphisms in certain genes (e.g., FVL, PRT, and MTHFR) were previously reported as risk factors for TEEs in different clinical conditions. This study aimed to genotype these genes and other loci predicted to underlie TEEs in SCD patients.
