Sickle cell anemia is the most common form of sickle cell disease. Sicklecell disease is a disease where the body makes blood cells that are sickle
shaped. When the blood cells are sickle shaped it means the blood cells areshaped like
a crescent, or half moon. Sickle cell anemia is a form of anemia. Sickle cellanemia is one type of anemia. Anemia is a condition when people have donot have the correct amount of red blood cells; the cells that they have are
lower. Red blood cells are made in the marrow inside the larger bones of the body. Bone marrow is the reason new blood cells are constantly replacing
the old ones. During sickle cell anemia, the bone marrow cant make newred blood cells fast enough to replace the dying ones. Sickle cell anemia isinherited; children inherit two genes for sickle and they get one from each
parent.

-inherited-inherits two
sickle cellhemoglobin genes, one from each parent
-genetic abnormality in the gene forhemoglobin = sickle cell hemoglobin

People are diagnosed with the disease
from a blood test. the blood test willhelp the doctors see what type ofhemoglobin is present in the blood .
DIAGNOSIS

If a blood sample showsthat a pregnant mother carries sickle
cell gene, then a blood sample is alsooffered to the child's father. If there
is a chance the child will inherit SCD, the
mother will be offered a prenataltest to decide if the baby actually has SCD.
TESTING

On October 10, 2013, a research team from Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center
discovered a new genetic target for sickle cell therapy. Thetarget controls a molecular switch in red blood cells, which then
regulates the hemoglobin production.
