In patients with sickle cell disease, clinical complications including osteonecrosis can vary in frequency and severity, presumably due to the effects of genes that modify the pathophysiology initiated by the sickle mutation. Here, we examined the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes (cytokines, inflammation, oxidant stress, bone metabolism) with osteonecrosis in patients with sickle cell disease. Genotype distributions were compared between cases and controls ...[more]
