Sickle cell screening for infants under 1 year
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to track and share information about newborn sickle cell disease screening at health centers in your community. If your baby is under 1 year old, they may be able to get screened for sickle cell disease, a blood disorder, as part of this project.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be less than 1 year old.
- Your baby must go to a participating health center in the project communities.
- You must agree to have your baby take part in the screening program.
