Background: With the emergence of fetal hemoglobin (Hb F)-stimulating agents as potential treatments for sickle-cell disease and thalassemias, procedures to monitor the effect of these agents on Hb F levels in individuals will be needed. We developed a rapid procedure that detects fetal hemoglobin i
Variation in the level of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) accounts for much of the clinical heterogeneity observed in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). The HbF level has emerged as an important prognostic factor in both sickle cell pain and mortality, and a % HbF of 10-20% has been suggested as a thre
