Sickle cell anemia: A genetic blood disease due to the presence of an abnormal form of hemoglobin, namely hemoglobin S. Hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells that transports oxygen from the lungs to the farthest areas of the body.
Sickle cell anemia affects millions of people throughout the world. It is particularly common among people whose ancestors came from sub-Saharan Africa; Spanish-speaking regions (South America, Cuba, Central America); Saudi Arabia; India; and Mediterranean countries, such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy. In the USA, sickle cell disease occurs in about 1 in every 500 African-American births and 1 in every 1,000-1,400 Hispanic-American births.

Answer:
Sickle cell anemia is an inheritable sort of anemia — a condition during which there are not enough healthy red blood cells to hold adequate element oxygen throughout your body.
Infections, pain and fatigue are symptoms of sickle cell unwellness.
Treatments embrace medication, blood transfusions and barely a bone-marrow transplant.
