Collect of Cord Blood From Subjects at Risk for Sickle Cell Disease, for the Purpose of Laboratory Research

Completed
Conditions
Sickle Cell Disease
Registration Number
NCT03876821
Lead Sponsor
Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France
Brief Summary

The study consists in collecting umbilical cord blood cells from newborns at risk of sickle cell disease, to perform laboratory experiments aiming to characterize the cells with HbS/HbS mutation, to develop methods to prepare, to gene-modify and to preserve these cells.

Detailed Description

Pregnant individuals carrying at least one HbS allele will be included in the study to collect the umbilical cord blood of the child at birth. Collected cells will be used anonymously for genetic and bioexperimental laboratory research, aiming to develop autologous gene therapy for sickle cell disease.
