Is sickle cell anemia a type of poikilocytosis?
Yes, sickle cell anemia is a type of poikilocytosis, which is a condition characterized by the presence of abnormally shaped red blood cells in the bloodstream. In sickle cell anemia, the red blood cells are crescent or sickle-shaped due to a genetic mutation in the hemoglobin protein.
Mutation that causes sickle cell anemia?
Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes for the beta-globin chain of hemoglobin. This mutation results in the production of abnormal hemoglobin molecules (hemoglobin S), leading to the characteristic sickle shape of red blood cells.
What genetic disorder results in abnormally shaped blood?
Spherocytosis
