While technically there are more than one, the main one by far is sickle cell anemia.
What else can I help you with?
What is a genetic disorder that causes abnormal hemoglobin?
Sickle cell anemia causes sickle-shaped red blood cells. It is caused by a single base pair gene mutation.
A mutation in the hemoglobin gene causes what disorder?
While technically there are more than one, the main one by far is sickle cell anemia.
What is the type of mutation that causes Leukemia disorder?
It's a gene mutation. And it is different for each organ.
Which types of mutation causes sickle cell anemia?
Sickle cell anemia is caused by a point mutation in the HBB gene, specifically a substitution of adenine for thymine in the sixth codon of the gene, resulting in the production of abnormal hemoglobin known as hemoglobin S.
What happens to the instructions when the genes are changed or mutated Provide an example of hemoglobin gene mutation?
If our hemoglobin gene is normal, the hemoglobin protein works fine. But if the instuctions in that gene are changed, or "mutated,"changes in the hemoglobin protein could result. One such mutation causes a disorder called sickle cell anemia.
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.
Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a mutation that results in?
Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for hemoglobin, a protein that helps red blood cells carry oxygen. This mutation leads to the production of abnormal hemoglobin known as hemoglobin S, which causes red blood cells to become rigid and sickle-shaped. These sickle-shaped cells can block blood flow, leading to pain, organ damage, and other complications.
What causes sickle cell allele?
The sickle cell allele is caused by a mutation in the HBB gene, which encodes a protein called hemoglobin. This mutation causes an abnormal form of hemoglobin (HbS) to be produced, leading to the characteristic sickle shape of red blood cells in individuals with sickle cell disease.
Is Huntington's Disease a gene mutation?
No, it's caused by a single point mutation of a gene.
What is the cause of a disorder?
A mutation in the gene makeup of the organism.
How does disease affect the cell?
Sickle cell disease is a mutation in the gene that codes for hemoglobin, which causes the hemoglobin and the cell to become elongated and look like a sickle rather than its normal disc shape.
What is the cause of a genetic disorder?
A mutation in the gene makeup of the organism.
