Sickle-cell anemia is characterised by abnormal haemoglobin which are not the correct shape and cannot carry oxygen.

It is a genetic disease - and a person must have two copies of the gene to have sickle-cell anemia. (Heterozygous individuals, with one copy, are known as having sickle-cell trait - and some of their haemoglobin may be misshapen).
