Sickle-Cell Disease

Both were carriers.

5'0

Sickle Cell Anaemia is a single gene defect (Hb gene).

Sickle cell may be treated by either a family doctor or if a specialist is needed it would be a Hematologist.

hematologist only diagnose the condition from blood workups...

see an internal medicine specialist...they are the ones trained to treat and follow up the condition

It helps confirm the presence of sickle hemoglobin

St. Judes is currently doing research to help the cure of the sickle disorder.

Black couples should be tested, because about 1 in 12 black Americans carry sickle-cell trait. A person with sickle-cell trait has a 50/50 chance of passing it to their offspring.

If both parents have sickle-cell trait, then there's a 1 in 4 chance their child could wind up with full-blown sickle cell anemia, which is associated with a significantly reduced life expectancy (maybe 50 years vs. 70-ish for those without it).

The trait is also reasonably common among Hispanics, where about 1 in 100 are carriers.

Northern Europeans ... not so much. It turns out that sickle-cell trait is actually a good thing to have if you live where there's a lot of malaria; it makes you be less affected by the disease. Not a lot of malaria in northern Europe, so people whose ancestors are from there don't tend to carry the trait.

no she is an carryier for it that means she carries the disease but its not like her moms

Sickle-cell anemia

Hemoglobin.

You get to live to 40, get free medication, eat alot of candy, and be very cold all the time.

It can be as low as 4 days.

My son Raman studing LKG - A sec in our school. He was not able to came to attended the classes on 4th July 2012 due to ill. kind permission is requested to allow him.

it has to do with inherited blood disorder that affects red blood sells

Neither. People with sickle cell anemia have the same number of chromosomes and even the same number of genes as those who don't have the disease. The difference is a *change* in one of the genes. Actually, it is (usually) caused by a one letter difference in the hemoglobin gene which makes the hemoglobin produced more 'sticky' on a molecular level.

the word sickle comes from the latin sikia meaning "annoyance" the rest of the word was just put in because the guys wo invented it were a*s holes.......

........got you, fool

If a person has a single sickle cell allele they will have some sickles red blood cells, and some normal red blood cells. This is the origami purpose that this evolved for. If a person had a single sickle cell allele, they will be mostly resistant to malaria. This is why sickle cell anemia is most prevalent in areas of the world where malaria is common. However, if a person has two sickle cell anemia alleles, they will have ONLY sickled red blood cells. The "sickling" of the red blood cells is caused by a mutation in the protien that the gene codes for. That protein is hemoglobin, which carries oxygen through the blood. If a person has sickle cell anemia, parts of their body wil not get enough oxygen. They can pass out, loose sensation in the limb, or even die from it. In short, a person with two alleles is sick, and a person with one allele is not.

this is a disease, not an odor, so it does not smell.

The sickle cell allele can be maintained in the central African population, above the frequency of gene mutation (balancing selection), because the heterozygous sickle cell individuals have an advantage in lifespan, in this malaria stricken region, over the homozygous alternatives. Homozygous sickle-sickle individuals die early from the sickle cell disease. Homozygous nonsickle-nonsickle die early from malaria. The heterozygous sickle-nonsickle have a higher survival against malaria and therefore the sickle cell allele is balanced selected.
