Molecular Thrombopoietin Gene Expression and Evaluation of Platelet Indices: Its Implications among Sickle Cell Disease

Introduction: Thrombogenesis has been implicated in the development of sickle cell disease (SCD) pain episodes on the basis of clinical and pathological observations. The prognostic implication of elevated baseline platelet count is linked to disease severity. The aim of this study is to determine molecular thrombopoietin gene expression and evaluate platelet indices: its implications among sickle cell disease
