Study Description

Research involving non-interventional humans. Selection and inclusion of patients by CHSD investigators. Collection of clinical data by investigators and CHSD URC staff.

Biochemical and hematological measurements by the CHSD medical biology laboratory for "care" samples Pseudonymization of 4 mL "research" samples by the URC then fractionation of the samples by 1 mL, and storage at -80°C within the medical biology laboratory of the CHSD.

Transport of samples at -80°C to team 1 of Dr Baudin-Creuza (Créteil). Preparation of genomic DNA from a 1 mL fraction then α and β globin genotyping by Dr Pissard.

Measurement of the AHSP concentration from the other fractions. Comparison of the AHSP concentration according to the group of subjects, and with the different parameters, then correlation analysis
