What is Sickle Cell Anemia or Sickle Cell Disease?
Sickle cell disease, or Sickle Cell Anemia, is an inherent blood disorder. In Sickle cell patients, the gene determining Hemoglobin production gets mutated, and as a consequence, the red blood cells (RBCs) become sickle or crescent moon-shaped instead of the normal round, disc-shaped. The normal red blood cells are also flexible and can easily pass through the smallest of the blood capillaries to supply oxygen to all the cells across the human body. The Sickle Cell RBCs are rigid and sticky and may break and stick together to form a clump and clog the blood vessels, disrupting blood supply (oxygen) to cells around the body. The lack of oxygen to cells may cause necrosis of the affected cells.
Sickle Cell Disease disease is passed on from the parents to their children. A person having genetic mutations in the Hemoglobin (Hb) Gene has a sickle cell trait and is called a sickle cell trait carrier. When a man or woman having sickle cell trait marries another woman or man with sickle cell trait, they may pass on the mutated Hb gene to their child. If the child receives the mutated HB gene from only one of the parents, he/she will also be a sickle cell trait carrier. When the child is born to Sickle cell trait carrier parents and receives the mutated Hb gene from both parents, he/she will develop sickle cell disease or sickle cell anemia.
Who are affected most with the Sickle Cell Disease?
