Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that a sufficient number of iron-overloaded thalassemia (THAL), Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)and Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) populations with similar duration of chronic transfusion, and age at start of transfusions would be available for a confirmatory study. The study will examine the hypothesis that a chronic inflammatory state in SCD leads to hepcidin- and cytokine-mediated iron withholding within the RES (reticuloendothelial system), lower plasma NTBI (non-transferrin bound iron) levels, less distribution of iron to the heart in SCD.

Primary Outcome

Patients with similar duration of chronic transfusion and age at onset of chronic transfusion therapy will be identified from 10 participating centers. Detailed information on iron burden and transfusion, medical, and chelation histories will be obtained in order to establish a cohort of patients that could be available for a future powered study of extra-hepatic iron deposition and underlying biochemical mechanisms.
