Sickle cell anemia is a homozygous recessive disorder. This means that an individual must receive two homozygous alleles from each of their parents in order to be affected by the disease. This gene then produces an abnormal shape - a "sickle" shape - of hemoglobin, resulting in clots of blood as they cannot fit through narrow capillaries.
