Ethics approval and consent to participate
: These studies used non-identifiable archived data from cohort studies of sickle cell anemia patients from the United States and Saudi Arabia, as reported previously (paper references Alsultan et al., 2011, Solovieff et al., 2010). Because of the DNA samples for the CSSCD were obtained from NIH Biolinc, no consents were available. For the Saudi patients, approval was obtained from the IRB at King Saud University, Riyadh, (09-668).
