What is the common name for sickle cell anemia?

It is a genetic disorder. However... It is also a protection against malaria. For example, if a person were born in an area where malaria is present, he or she would likely die from the disease, unless he or she inherited 1 sickle cell gene. Malaria viruses reproduce in the red blood cells. The parent virus invades a cell, and uses the cell as a host to grow more viruses. With 1 sickle cell gene, malaria viruses that invade a red cell are quickly destroyed, since the red cell collapses, preventing the virus from reproducing. But with 2 sickle cell genes, red cells collapse too easily; just a bruise can cause someone to become anemic when too many red cells collapse. In the real world, people with no sickle cell genes died from malaria. People with 1 sickle cell gene survived. People with 2 sickle cell genes died from sickle cell anemia. It was natures way of assuring that at least half of the population survive, but it is certainly a difficult thing to live with today, now that we can more easily treat malaria.
