NIH Rare Diseases: Sickle cell anemia is a disease in which the body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells that have a crescent or sickle shape. These cells do not last as long as normal, round, red blood cells, which leads to anemia (low number of red blood cells). The sickle cells also get stuck in blood vessels, blocking blood flow. Signs and symptoms of sickle cell disease usually begin in early childhood and may include anemia, repeated infections, and periodic episodes of pain (called crises). This condition is caused by mutations in the HBB gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Treatment typically focuses on controlling symptoms and may include pain medicines during crises; hydroxyurea to reduce the number of pain episodes; antibiotics and vaccines to prevent bacterial infections; and blood transfusions.30
MalaCards: Sickle Cell Anemia, also known as hemoglobin sc disease, is related to alpha thalassemia and beta thalassemia. An important gene associated with Sickle Cell Anemia is HBB (hemoglobin, beta), and among its related pathways are Graft-versus-host disease and Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). The drug phenylbutyrate sodium and the compounds hirudin and polyethylene glycol have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include spleen, bone marrow and monocytes, and related mouse phenotypes are respiratory system and renal/urinary system. MedlinePlus: Sickle cell anemia is a disease in which your body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells. the cells are shaped like a crescent or sickle. they don't last as long as normal, round red blood cells, which leads to anemia. the sickle cells also get stuck in blood vessels, blocking blood flow. this can cause pain and organ damage. a genetic problem causes sickle cell anemia. people with the disease are born with two sickle cell genes, one from each parent. if you only have one sickle cell gene, it's called sickle cell trait. about 1 in 12 african americans has sickle cell trait. a blood test can show if you have the trait or anemia. most states test newborn babies as part of their newborn screening programs.23 Genetics Home Reference: Sickle cell disease is a group of disorders that affects hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. People with this disorder have atypical hemoglobin molecules called hemoglobin S, which can distort red blood cells into a sickle, or crescent, shape.17 Wikipedia: Sickle-cell disease (SCD), or sickle-cell anaemia (or anemia) (SCA) or drepanocytosis, is an autosomal...44 more...
