Abstract
118 Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common inherited hemolytic anemias affecting millions of people worldwide with a high prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa, accounting for approximately 80% of the cases globally and in the Middle East1,2. The prevalence in Bahrain has been estimated at 1.3% with a high phenotypic variation due to its association with coinherited α and β thalassemia alleles3,4.
