POC Test Detects Genetic Blood Disorders with High Accuracy

Sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta thalassemia are genetic blood disorders that affect over 7% of the global population. In the US, SCD is estimated to affect 100,000 people, with up to 8% of African-Americans being carriers, and can reduce life expectancy by up to 20 years. Now, an affordable sickle cell and beta thalassemia test that is currently used in 27 countries seeks to replicate its international success and expand into the U.S. More...
