Yes

Please add any comments/suggestions/questions:

We investigated molecular and cellular aspects of SCD. In molecular aspect we established the haplotype map of tunisian SCD patients by exploring beta globin locus polymorphisms, modifier genes and GPM6B gene polymorphisms. Currently, we explore the biomarkers of SCD by eryptosis and microparticules emission.
