CSIR-CCMB developed an India-specific score to predict sickle cell anaemia severity

Scientists at CSIR–Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) developed an India-specific disease severity score to better predict how severely sickle cell anaemia may affect Indian patients. The tool was developed using clinical data from India, including analysis of medical records of 171 children (up to 18 years) treated at Government Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur, as reported by The Hindu.
