Genetic modifiers study for inherited blood disorders
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how your genes can affect inherited blood conditions like sickle cell disease and thalassemia. It may help researchers understand why symptoms differ from person to person, which could guide better future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosed inherited blood condition (sickle cell disease, β-thalassemia, or α-thalassemia)
- You are at least 2 years old when the study collects health information
- You (or your legal representative) can give consent to join the study
- You have not had a stem cell transplant
- You have not had genetic therapy

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new gene therapy that edits your own blood stem cells to help them make more fetal hemoglobin, which can prevent sickling and reduce the need for transfusions. It is for people with severe sickle cell disease or beta thalassemia who do not have a matched sibling donor.
This trial tests a gene editing treatment for sickle cell disease. It aims to modify your own blood stem cells to produce more fetal hemoglobin, which can reduce pain episodes and other complications.
This trial aims to improve how doctors diagnose rare inherited anemias, including sickle cell disease and other conditions that destroy red blood cells. It may help if you have a confirmed or suspected diagnosis but need more clarity through advanced testing.
This study collects common body samples to learn how different globin gene variants work and how they relate to health. Your samples may also be used later for new research, including genetic testing.
This study looks at genetic (DNA) factors that may contribute to certain blood disorders. You may be invited if you or a close family member is receiving care for a blood condition like MDS or MPN, and the study also includes related relatives.
This study collects blood samples to learn more about sickle cell-related genetics and biology. You might benefit indirectly by helping researchers understand the condition, even though this is laboratory research rather than a medication trial.
