Protocol for "Genetic composition of sickle cell disease in the Arab population: A systematic review".

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a global health issue in hematology with a progressively increasing prevalence. There are recent advances in the management of SCD, with new drugs being introduced. It is essential to analyze the genetic makeup of SCD regionally to anticipate the effectiveness of management modalities. This systematic review's main objectives are (a) to combine the existing knowledge of the genetic composition of SCD in the Arab population and (b) to analyze the various phenotypes of SCD prevalent in the Arab population.

Methods

We will perform a systematic review and search multiple electronic databases predefined search terms to identify eligible articles. Eligible studies should report findings on the genetic testing of Sickle Cell disease in the 22
