Associated Hematology Studies : Sickle cell anemia
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease primarily affecting individuals of African American descent. It can both shorten and reduce the quality of life by creating risk for strokes and causing chronic organ damage.
Gene therapy may potentially address the lack of available healing therapy. This study will use bone marrow stem cells from patients with sickle cell disease or thalassemia. Stem cells are able to become any type of blood cell. They usually live in the bone marrow. Participants will be asked to donate stem cells and have them collected by a procedure known as bone marrow aspiration.
Only current St. Jude patients are eligible.
