Abstract

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is characterized by variable patterns of clinical expression. Polymorphisms linked to different genes have been associated with specific complications of the disease. Herein, we focused on the study of the association of 4 polymorphisms of Insulin like Growth Factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) gene with infections, which are the major cause of death in SCA.
