Sickle cell disease (SCD) occurs when both HBB alleles are mutated and at least one of them is the βS allele. Deoxygenated (not bound to oxygen) HbS can polymerize, and HbS polymers can stiffen the erythrocyte. Individuals with one βS allele have the sickle cell trait (HbAS) but not ...
Up to 100,000 Americans have some form of sickle cell. It's more common among some races and ethnicities than others. If you have African ancestry, you're at the highest risk for sickle cell trait. You may also be at risk if your ethnicity is Hispanic, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, As...
Given the prevalence of sickle cell disease (SS) at 0.16-1.3 per cent t and of sickle cell trait (AS) at eight per cent there are many people at risk in those cities. In many communities outside the metropolitan areas the numbers affected could be so small that some physicians may ...

In the U.S., an estimated 100,000 people have the disease and about a fifth of them have the severe form. Sickle cell is most common among Black people, and1 in 365Black babies are born with the disease nationally. Scientists believe being a carrier of the sickle cell trait helps pr...

Sickle cell disease (SCD), which affects approximately 100,000 individuals in the USA and more than 3 million worldwide, is caused by mutations in the βb globin gene that result in sickle hemoglobin production. Sickle hemoglobin polymerization leads to
