Phase N/A
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) is when someone carries one sickle cell gene but doesn't have the disease. This study aims to learn more about SCT by following people over time. Researchers want to understand how having different amounts of the sickle cell gene might affect health.

  • The study is for adults 18 and older who either know or think they have SCT. Testing will confirm SCT status.
  • Participants will be part of a long-term study, meaning they'll be checked on regularly over time.
  • People with severe kidney problems or the actual sickle cell disease cannot join.

To be part of this study, you must agree to sign a consent form. The study will help researchers learn if SCT can lead to health problems. This knowledge can improve care for people with SCT. Participation is voluntary, and you can choose to leave the study at any time.
