New study aims to unlock genetic secrets of red blood cell diseases
NCT ID NCT07649213
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This research study is looking at people with inherited red blood cell disorders, such as hemolytic anemia, to better understand the genetic causes. Researchers will study blood samples from up to 400 participants to identify specific gene changes. The goal is to improve diagnosis and knowledge of these conditions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better genetic testing and diagnosis for people with inherited red blood cell disorders.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not testing a treatment. It may not directly improve health outcomes, and results depend on participant enrollment and genetic analysis.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
If medical history and review of the laboratory data obtained for clinical care, including CBC/reticulocyte count and review of the blood smear, indicates that the patient has a non-immune hemolytic anemia that may be due to a hemoglobinopathy, a red cell membrane skeleton or enzyme disorder, then the patients and their families will be asked for their participation in the study. The rare patients suspected to have congenital dyserythropoietic anemia will also be eligible for this study.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who have been diagnosed, by medical history and review of the laboratory data obtained for clinical care, including CBC/reticulocyte count and review of the blood smear, with a hereditary hemolytic anemia, where the genetic etiology is challenging to be identified. 2. Parents and/or grandparents of children that have the above diagnosis. The parents and/or grandparents may or may not have non-immune hemolytic anemia (these will serve as positive or negative inherent controls) Exclusion: 1\) Patients with anemias known to be acquired and not associated with a genetic etiology.
