OBJECTIVE: Sickle cell anemia (SCA) can cause substantial kidney dysfunction resulting in sickle cell nephropathy, which may be affected by the presence of modifier genes. This study evaluates the effects of some modifier genes on sickle cell nephropathy. METHODS: Patients living with SCA were recruited. Alpha-thalassemia (3.7kb HBA1/HBA2 deletion) was genotyped using gap PCR multiplex. Senegal haplotype (Xmn1-rs7412844), BCL11A -rs4671393 and NPRL3 -rs11248850 were genotyped using Mass Array...
