The hereditary hemoglobinopathy known as sickle cell disease is characterized by abnormal hemoglobin synthesis, hemolytic anemia, and intermittent obstruction of tiny blood arteries. The current investigation aims to study the relationship between interferon-gamma gene expression and serum levels with thyroid hormone status and Ferritin levels in sickle cell anemia patients. Blood samples were collected from 50 patients suffering from SCA and 50 healthy volunteers as a control group. The results of the relation of IFN-γ serum level with T3, T4 and TSH levels showed a positive relationship between IFN-γ serum and TSH levels. At the same time, an inverse association to T3 and T4 levels with high significance also showed high IFN-γ gene expression (10.78 ±5.06 Fold) in the patient group as compared with control (2.079 ±0.52 Fold) at a significant difference, as well as the results found acquire strong positive association between IFN-γ serum level and IFN-γ mRNA expression in the patient group compared with the control group. The current study concluded that there was an inverse association among T3, T4 and IFN-γ serum with high significance, as high gene expression of IFN-γ, and a strong positive association between IFN-γ serum level and IFN-γ mRNA expression. Keywords: IFN-γ, SCA, Ferritin, TSH, T3, T4.
