Prevalence
More than 2.5 million Americans have the trait
70,000 or more Americans have sickle cell disease
About 1,000 babies are born with the disease each year in America In Nigeria, 1/3 population of U.S., 45,000-90,000
babies with sickle cell disease are born each year

Mechanism
Red blood cells (RBC)
Contain a special protein called hemoglobin
(Hb) Hb is the component that carries oxygen
from the lungs to all parts of the body
Most people have only hemoglobin type – Hb
A within RBC (normal genotype: Hb AA)
Sickle Cell: HbS
S similar to A, but one structural change
Other types: HbC, HbD, and HbE

The Proteins of Hemoglobin A
• There are 4 protein subunits of Hemoglobin A
There will be different forms of Hemoglobin when there is a mutation in the beta subunit.

Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplantation Bone marrow transplants are the closest things
possible to a cure for sickle cell anemia.
Process In bone marrow transplantation, the affected
person’s bone marrow is replaced with cells containing genes for the non-sickle cell hemoglobin.
Production of healthy red blood cells starts and the sickle shaped cells are prevented. If the transplant is performed when the affected person is still young then success rates can be as high as 90-95%.(Sickle Cell Society 2005)
