« The Sickle Cell Unit »

The sickle-cell unit in Kingston has operated Jamaica’s only comprehensive sickle-cell centre since 1973, and initiated the Jamaican cohort Study of Sickle-Cell Disease (JSSCD) in the same year. JSSCD participants (552 haemoglobinopathies and 246 AA genotype controls) were initially identified from neonatal screening of 100,000 consecutive hospital deliveries.
