CORE--DIAGNOSTIC SCREENING LABORATORY

杜克综合镰状细胞中心诊断实验室 已组织提供准确的表型和基因型数据， 患者在中心接受研究。 由于大量的 镰状细胞病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 患者或血液样本进行检查。 该实验室还拥有 负责制定协议，以有效地传达这一点 向使用这些信息的调查人员提供信息， 这些方法最终将导致改善护理算法， 镰状病患者。

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.
