Screening healthy newborns for sickle cell and G6PD
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study screens healthy newborns for two inherited blood conditions: sickle cell disease and G6PD deficiency. It is meant to check if these conditions can occur together, which may help doctors provide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be a newborn (just a few days or weeks old).
- Your baby must be in good general health.
- Your baby must not have a high amount of young red blood cells (called reticulocytes) that can suggest other health issues.
- Your baby must not have any serious health problems.

This study will test newborns who may be at higher risk for inherited blood disorders (hemoglobinopathies) using a special screening program called EmoCamp. The goal is to catch these conditions early so babies can get the care they need.
This study tests a new computer system to help hospitals quickly identify babies with sickle cell disease (an inherited blood disorder) right after birth or at early health visits. Finding sickle cell disease early helps prevent serious health problems and saves lives.
This study tests a new way to screen babies for sickle cell disease at the point of care. It aims to make screening faster and easier for families and health workers.
This trial tests a simple blood test at the clinic to screen newborns for sickle cell disease (SCD) and start early care. It aims to help babies get diagnosed and treated quickly.
This study is testing a new way to screen all newborns for sickle cell disease in Mozambique. It aims to find babies with the condition early so they can get the right care from the start.
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.
