CORE--DIAGNOSTIC SCREENING LABORATORY

杜克综合镰刀细胞中心诊断实验室 已经被组织起来，提供准确的表型和基因数据 在该中心接受研究的患者。因为有相当多的 镰状细胞患者临床病程的异质性 镰状细胞病患者血液中的单个细胞， 临床和基础实验室研究需要了解 正在检测的病人或血样。该实验室还拥有 负责制定协议以有效地传达这一点 向调查人员提供信息，并利用这些信息开发 最终将导致改进的护理算法的方法 患有镰状病症的患者。

The Diagnostic Laboratory of the Duke Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center has been organized to provide accurate phenotypic and genotypic data on patients being studied at the Center. Because of the considerable heterogeneity in the clinical course of sickle cell patients and among individual cells in the blood of patients with sickle cell disease, clinical and basic laboratory research requires an understanding of the patients or blood samples being examined. The laboratory also has the responsibility for developing protocols to effectively communicate this information to the investigators using the information and to develop approaches that will ultimately lead to improved algorithms for care for patients with sickling disorders.
