• Sickle cell disease (SCD), also known as sickle cell anemia, is a genetic blood disorder that affects the structure and function of red blood cells. It is an inherited condition caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin gene, which is responsible for producing the protein that carries oxygen in the red blood cells. This disorder results in a distressing systemic condition marked by persistent anemia, episodes of intense pain, organ infarction, chronic organ impairment, and a considerable decrease in life expectancy.
