Sickle cell anaemia is such a genetic disease.
The sixth amino acid in the beta chain of haeme which is glutamic acid in normal people gets replaced by valine in sickle cell anaemia patients.
This simple change in the amino acid sequence results in the the sickle shape of RBCs

What causes Misshapen pupils in the eye?
Misshapen pupils can be caused by several things such as iridocyclitis or iritis. The medical term for misshapen pupils is synechia.
What blood proteins fight disease?
Antibodies are proteins in the blood that fight disease.
What are the names of the bad proteins?
The infectious proteins (not made by you) are called prions. An example of this is the mad cow disease.
What would happen if there was no lysosome?
Lysosomes are responsible for digesting worn out organelles. If there was not a lysosome, then excess organelles would not be discarded. Tay-Sachs disease is caused by malfunction of lysosomes or one of their digestive proteins.
What is the diseases caused by the deficency of proteins?
malnutrition
Name the disease caused by the deficiency of?
I don't know of _ but i know about the disease caused by the deficiency of proteins that is kwashiorkor.
What causes Misshapen pupils in the eye?
Misshapen pupils can be caused by several things such as iridocyclitis or iritis. The medical term for misshapen pupils is synechia.
Do prions replicate in cells?
They are not biological and don't "replicate" in a biological sense. They are misshapen proteins and they cause other proteins to also become misshapen, and thus cells just come apart or die.
What type of diseases can you have if you have a defect in your proteins?
All genetic diseases causes malformation of proteins, as genes are the code for the proteins within us. Also, diseases like mad cow are caused by a misshapen proteins called prions, but one must come in contact with a cow's brain to contract this.
What is the role of chaperonin?
These barrel shaped and lidded proteins ( not to be confused with chaperones ) are tasked with the proper folding of misshapen polypeptide chains/proteins in the cytosol
What is another name for Bright's disease?
Glomerulonephritis is another name for Bright's disease. It is a type of kidney disease caused by inflammation of the glomeruli that causes red blood cells and proteins to leak into the urine.
What is also known as Bright's disease known as?
glomerulonephritis, also known as BRIGHT' disease, is a type of kidney disease caused by inflammation of the glomeruli that causes red blood cells and proteins to leak into the urine
What blood proteins fight disease?

because the shape of a protein allows it to perform its particular job
Why does Eric Roberts limp?
his fingers are misshapen from the car wreck he had years ago. he’s limping because of a bad hip he recently had replaced.
How do cows get mad cow disease?
Mad cow disease happens when the proteins in the brain of cow become misfolded. This is called prion. In simple words all proteins have to be folded before they can function and when some proteins in the brain become misfolded, such a state is called prions (misfolding of proteins) and it results in mad cow disease.
What Disease Does Bacteria Not Cause?
There are many diseases that are not caused by bacteria. Anything that is caused by a virus (viral meningitis or HIV, for example) is not going to be caused by a bacterial infection. Also, genetic disorders can be caused by over or underexpression of proteins in the body. These are not bacterial related.
