A Pancreatic Cancer Screening Study in Individuals With New-Onset or Deteriorating Diabetes Mellitus
The main goal of this study is to explore the relationship between new-onset diabetes mellitus/deteriorating diabetes and a subsequent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP) will be utilized to screen for early stage pancreatic cancer or precursor lesions. Participants will be asked to donate a …
Sickle-cell Disease Registry of the GPOH
Sickle cell disease is one of the most common hereditary diseases. Most severe complications can be avoided if the disease is detected early and treated appropriately.The sickle cell disease registry of the Society for Paediatric Oncology/Haematology aims at describing the epidemiology of sickle cell disease in German-speaking central Europe. Patients …
Sickle Cell Kidney Biorepository
Kidney disease is a major cause of illness and death in people with sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait. Despite these concerning facts, we do not (1) have an in-depth understanding of how kidney disease starts in sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait, (2) have detailed insights into …

Uganda Sickle Surveillance Study (US-3)
It is estimated that over 250,000 babies are born with sickle cell disease (SCD) annually in sub-Saharan Africa, and only 10% - 50% of them survive beyond five years of age. Data describing the magnitude of the sickle cell problem are lacking in most African countries. The available data on …
Development of Non-Invasive Prenatal Diagnosis for Single Gene Disorders
Cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is present in the maternal blood from the early first trimester of gestation and makes up 5%-20% of the total circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in maternal plasma. Its presence in maternal plasma has allowed development of noninvasive prenatal diagnosis for single-gene disorders (SGD-NIPD). This can be …

These are written recommendations on how to diagnose and treat …
Genotype -Phenotype Correlation of PKLR Variants With Pyruvate Kinase, 2,3-Diphosphglycerate and Adenosine Triphosphate Activities in Red Blood Cells of People With Sickle Cell Disease
Background:Some people with the same disorder on a genetic level have more complications than others. Researchers want to look for a link between the PKLR gene and sickle cell disease (SCD) symptoms. The PKLR gene helps create a protein, called pyruvate kinase that is essential in normal functioning of the …
RADeep Multicenter European Epidemiological Platform for Patients Diagnosed With Rare Anemia Disorders (RADs)
Rare Anaemia Disorders (RADs) is a group of rare diseases characterized for presenting anaemia as the main clinical manifestation. Different medical entities classified as RADs by ORPHA classification are most of them chronic life threating disorders with many unmet needs for their proper clinical management creating an impact on European …
