Comprehensive, easy-to-understand information about this condition
How we create this content →Documentation for sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease syndrome is limited due to its rarity and the lack of systematic clinical studies. The condition affects a small number of individuals, making comprehensive research challenging. Additionally, the overlapping clinical features with other hemoglobinopathies complicate the ability to characterize this syndrome thoroughly. Despite these challenges, ongoing research aims to improve understanding and treatment options.
To navigate your care, consider consulting a hematologist with expertise in hemoglobinopathies, as they can provide specialized management for sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease syndrome. You may also find valuable support through organizations such as the Sickle Cell Association of Texas (https://sicklecelltx.org) and the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation of California (https://scdfc.org). Participating in a patient registry or natural history study can also help contribute to the understanding of this condition.
There are currently several orphan drugs in development for sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease syndrome, including 15(S)-hydroxy-(5Z,8Z,11Z,13E,17Z)-eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester, beta-nicotinamide mononucleotide, and rilzabrutinib. Additionally, there is one active clinical trial related to this condition.
