Association Between Selected Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Globin and Related Genes and Response to Hydroxyurea Therapy in Ghanaian Children with Sickle Cell Disease

BACKGROUND: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of genetic disorders affecting the structure and function of haemoglobin. Hydroxyurea (HU) stimulates fetal haemoglobin (HbF) and reduces sickle erythrocyte-endothelial cell interaction. However, the degree of HbF response to HU varies, with HbF expre...
