Description
Sickle-cell anemia is an autosomal recessive genetic blood disorder characterized by the presence of rigid and sickle-shaped red blood cells. The sickling occurs because of a mutation in the hemoglubin gene. In the US, the prevalence of the disease is about 1 in 5000, mostly affecting Americans of Sub-Sahara African descent. One third of all inhabitants of Sub-Sahara Africa carry the gene because in areas where malaria is common there is a survival advantage in carrying only one single sickle-cell gene (sickle-cell trait).
