Why is it important?

High HbF levels has an important effect on SCA patients clinic. How is the effect on bone chemistry? Which bone parameters change by different HbF levels?

Perspectives

Some bone parameters were different in SCA patients when HbF levels were under <2% or >2%). This can be a good index for bone status in SCA.
