A new study at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Sickle Cell Clinical Research and Intervention Program, helps scientists understand how sickle cell disease progresses. The study, called SCCRIP, allows participants to learn more about their health and helps researchers at St. Jude and area adult-care hospitals gain long-term insights into the disease. Children in this study will return to St. Jude for periodic checkups throughout their lives. Additionally, researchers will sequence the genes of up to 1,000 patients to understand how genetic changes affect disease severity.
