2 Introduction ~ 5% of the world s population carries trait genes for haemoglobin disorders Carriers ~ 25% in some regions > new births with severe haemoglobin disorders each year Lopez et al. Gene 2010

3 Sickle cell disease

4 Epidemiology Rees et al. Lancet 2010 In Brussels 1 st genetic disorder 1/1600 birth Harteveld et al. Orphanet J Rare disease 2010

5 Genetics Autosomal recessive disorder Mutation on β-globin gene sixth aminoacid becomes valine instead of glutamic acid (HbS) Sickle cell trait Hb AS Sickle cell syndrome Hb SS (sickle cell anemia) Hb SC Hb Sβ-thalassemia Hb SD Punjab Hb SO Arab

19 Management Education and information Good lifestyle To avoid risk factors (hypoxia, dehydratation, cold exposure, ) To recognize a acute event Folic acid Infection prevention Prophlyactic antibiotics Vaccination Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzae, Flu Emipiric antibiotherapy

20 Symptomatic management Vaso-occlusive crisis Adapted pain management Good hydratation Acute chest syndrome Exchange transfusion Antibiotics Stroke or unexplained neurological symptom Exchange transfusion

21 Intensification Chronic (exchange) transfusion program Primary or secondary prevention of stroke Recurrent ACS or VOC despite HU Organ failure (hepatic, renal, ) Hydroxyurea The only efficient drug Well tolerated Up to maximal tolerated dosis if needed Ware. Blood 2010
