Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutation that affects Hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.

7. The life expectancy is 42-48 years with some aging to 50 or even 54.
8. Narcotic, Chemotherapy , Vitamins,
Blood Transfusion, Patient-Controlled Analgesia are all types of treatments for this Disease.
9. Daily headaches, Crucial Crisis,
that come out of nowhere, etc.
10. They have certain exercise limitations because of the blood cells they have which carry less oxygen which makes it harder to work out.
11. Some organizations that can help a family cope with Sickle Cell are Sickle Cell Warriors, (sicklecellwarriors.com),Michigan Medicine , (www.med.umich.edu) , and Health Supervision , (pediatrics.appublications.org).
12.It is possible to get Blood transfusions, and bone marrow transplants but there is no real cure , just some treatments.

1. Two genes for sickle hemoglobin must be inherited. It is a recessive trait.
2. As is the sickle allele have a selective advantage over both of the hemoglobin AA and AS.
3. This disease is estimated to occur in 1 out of 500 African Americans and 1 out of 1,000 in Hispanic Americans.
4.They are not very high because if both parents have SCT it is 25% and if both parents have SCD then it is only 50%.
5. A blood test can check for S defective hemoglobin forms of blood cells and see if the person is diagnosed with Sickle.
6. Pain in the joints , sudden pain in the chest, fatigue, low oxygen, or malaise.

Sickle cell disease is rare. A group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become misshapen and break down. There are fewer than 200,000 U.S. cases per year. 50% of patients with sickle cell disease survived beyond the fifth decade. A large proportion of those who died had no overt chronic organ failure but during an acute episode of pain, chest syndrome, or stroke. Early mortality was highest among patients whose disease was symptomatic. People with sickle cell disease are expected to live less than 50 years, also blood is chronically low in oxygen. Sickle cell disease is an inherited condition, nothing can be done to prevent sickle cell disease, but it is important to have an early diagnosis. The sickle shape of the cell clogs where the other cells travel.

Sickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell Trait

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Sickle cell trait (also known as being a carrier) occurs when a person has one gene for sickle hemoglobin and one gene for normal hemoglobin. Approximately one in ten African-Americans carries sickle cell trait. People who are carriers generally do not have any medical problems and lead normal lives.
