Detailed explanation-1: -Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the beta globin genes that leads to faulty hemoglobin protein, called hemoglobin S. Hemoglobin S changes flexible red blood cells into rigid, sickle-shaped cells. These sickle cells can block blood flow, and result in pain and organ damage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sickle cell anemia is an inherited form of anemia-a condition in which there aren’t enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen throughout your body. Normally, your red blood cells are flexible and round, moving easily through your blood vessels.
