Approximately 100,000 people die each year from complications of sickle cell disease, with most deaths occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. Early detection, proper management, and access to healthcare can help improve outcomes for individuals with sickle cell disease.

yes

An example of point-mutation is sickle-cell anemia. Sickle-cell disease is hereditary.

Peope with sickle cell disease suffer from pain crisis in arms,legs or ,chest. Well at least my daughter do. It is painful and she has to be admitted to hospital and receive morphine and. Iv fluids to relieve pain.

once youdidn't get it from birth, then it is not possible to get it when you grown up, but if you want to protect your future children not get the disease than it is better not to married from sickle cell disease man

It is impossible to predict what will happen with one person!

In a population of 2,000 people, 1,000 women have sickle cell trait and 1,000 men do not. They marry. Each couple has 2 children. 1,000 children will have sickle cell trait and 1,000 children will not.

In a population of 2,000 people, 1,000 women have sickle cell trait and 1,000 men have sickle cell trait. They marry. Each couple has 2 children. 1,000 children will have sickle cell trait, 500 children will not, and 500 children will have sickle cell anemia.

No one knows which of those parents will produce which children. No one knows how to predict how your children will turn out.

Yes

Exercising cost lot of energy.So Oxygen requirement increase.People with sickle cells, do not have normal number of blood cells to carry Oxygen.So energy production would not be sufficient.

People who have sickle cell should try to avoid consuming alcohol if at all possible. This is because sickle cell causes the patient to become dehydrated in the first place, so drinking alcohol would only exacerbate the problem.

Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder. It can result from two carriers having a child together.

Red Blood Cells. It is called

sickle cell because some of the red blood cells

are long and shaped like sickles. Although sickle

cell disease primarily affects African Americans,

it is also found in Hispanics, Italians, Greeks and

people of Mediterranean descent.

no it dose not sickle cell anemia causes death only if African Americans

infection

No, tattoos will not effect the disease. Just be sure to take your regular antibiotics if needed to prevent any infections.

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.

The incidence of sickle cell disease is equal in both men and women.

However, it is believed that men who have the disease experience worse symptoms than women with the disease.

A possible reason for this is the role of oestrogen in the female body. Oestrogen helps stimulate the production of nitric oxide. Scientists believe that nitric oxide has a key role to play in reducing the symptoms of a sickle cell crisis as it dilates blood vessels, giving the sickle shaped cells more room to pass through the vessels, preventing blockages which is the cause of sickle cell crisis.

From my mom

A single sickle-cell gene protects against malaria. Two sickle-cell genes produce sickle-cell disease.

No. It arises due to point mutations (like A -> T).

If you were not born with this condition then you will not develop it during your life.

The condition is generally inherited as it is a genetic mutation. However, it is possible that the mutation could spontaneously happen in any baby.

The reason why this (sometimes fatal) condition has persisted in certain African populations is because it imparts a resistance to malaria.

Since people with the sickle cell allele trait are resistent to malaria, if malaria were eliminated there would be no change in the frequncy of sickle cell allele. This is because the presense of malaria does not have an affect on patients with the sickle cell allele trait.

Sickle is used for harvesting.
