1) Do people with this specific disorder have more blood cells than normal to make up for how small they are?
2) Do all people with this disorder have trouble with physical activity or breathing?

# data[].attributes.body
What causes the blood cells to be so small?
-Why do they lack in bulk?
Does this affect how much oxygen gets to this person's muscles and body?
Does his body rely on anaerobic respiration much more?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Is this condition caused by a genetic disorder or an environmental influence?
2. Does the deformed blood cells have an direct effect on Shawn's condition?

# data[].attributes.body
1. How does the family tree change/connect to Shawn's genetics and his symptoms if it is a gene-related disease?
2. Why does Shawn get pain all over his body if he only can't get oxygen and move it around in his body?

# data[].attributes.body
1) What causes the blood cell to be so small
2) Does Shawn have enough o2 to eat or go to the store without collapsing.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Could there have been an environmental influence  on the creation of this disease.
2. How was this protein shape created, and how may patients combat its effects?

# data[].attributes.body
1. How can the patient reduce the symptoms of the disorder?

2. How do the changes in the hemoglobin affect the patient?

# data[].attributes.body
1. What are the red substances that are missing from Shawn’s hemoglobin?

2. Did Shawn’s grandma and sister have similar looking red blood cells and hemoglobin?

# data[].attributes.body
1. How is this disorder inherited?
2. What are some treatments for this disorder, if there are any available?

# data[].attributes.body
What caused shawn's blood cells to be so thin compared to a healthy one?

why was he missing the red things in his Hb protein?

# data[].attributes.body
Was this disorder really caused by genes? If so how can they prove it?

Are there any medical treatments they can take to resolve this?

What caused the development of the red blood cells in his body?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why is Shawn’s blood cells so shriveled up?

2. How does it affect his oxygen transportation?

# data[].attributes.body
1) Is his condition caused by a hereditary genetic disorder or disease?
2) Is there any possible cure?

# data[].attributes.body
How does this disorder work

See all the wonderful things XIN RAN LIU has made

One question I have is how many people in the world have this blood cell?
Does a person who have this disease only have this kind of cell in their body or is there is mix between regular and sickled cell?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why is Shawn's hb so spread out?
2. Can this disorder be treated?

# data[].attributes.body
How does his body function with these differences in red blood cells? How does his red blood cells carry materials around the body?

# data[].attributes.body
1.Did this irregularity in Shawn's red blood cells occur as he developed or was it contained in his genes when he was born?
2.Will these differences in the red blood cells become a threat to his survival?

# data[].attributes.body
With his deformed blood cells, how is he still alive?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why doesn’t Shawn have a red substance in his hemoglobin?

2. Why doesn’t a normal patient have the purple substance in their hemoglobin?

# data[].attributes.body
What caused the development of Shawn's disorder?
Why does his hemoglobin not have red but has purple?

# data[].attributes.body
Was Shawn born these cells or did it change over time?

Is there anything else Shawn is lacking besides oxygen?

# data[].attributes.body
-Does the patients family members have the same results

-What caused the patient’s blood cells to become all shrunken up compared to regular blood cells?

# data[].attributes.body
What caused the development of the red blood cells in Shawn’s body?
Did the lack of certain molecules cause Shawn’s symptoms?

# data[].attributes.body
If the problem with Shawn’s symptoms has something to do with inheritance, what part of the genetic information has caused these symptoms?

What is causing the red blood cells to have a unhealthy hemoglobin?

# data[].attributes.body
what is causing shawns Hb to be so much more spread out the a normal persons?

does the size of his blood cells impact the amount of nutrients he takes in?

# data[].attributes.body
What causes this disorder?
How is this disorder treated?

# data[].attributes.body
Are shawn’s blood cells caused by mutations in his genetic information? How is this going to get treated?

# data[].attributes.body
Is Shawn's condition due to a disease or a genetic disorder because I know that sickle cell disease makes blood cells look like that of which Shawn has.

My other question is whether there is something that can ease the pain or make Shawn's symptoms lighter.
