Probability of TCD-Normalization in the "Drepagreffe" Trial Comparing Transplantation to Chronic Transfusion in Sickle Cell Anemia Children with Abnormal-Transcranial Doppler Is Associated with Lower Ang-2 and BDNF Plasma Levels
This study confirms the association between high levels of BDNF and high velocities, and suggests that transplantation increases the likelihood of TCD-normalization compared to transfusion, and is associated with reduced Ang-2 expression in plasma, which may reflect improved brain oxygenation.DisclosuresThuret: Addmedica: Research Funding; bluebird bio: Research Funding; Novartis: Research Funding.
