The primary purpose of this research study is to learn about how the level of a protein called p16 changes in the blood of children, adolescents, and adults with sickle cell disease. This protein can provide information about cellular aging which has not been studied before in patients with sickle cell disease. This can help develop future areas of research into sickle cell disease.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is recruiting by invitation only.
