NHGRI Clinical Research on Sickle Cell Disease Additional Resources for Sickle Cell Disease Information Sickle cell disease is the most common inherited blood disorder in the United States. Approximately 80,000 Americans have the disease. In the United States, sickle cell disease is most prevalent among African Americans. About one in 12 African Americans and about one in 100 Hispanic Americans carry the sickle cell trait, which means they are carriers of the disease. Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin-Beta gene found on chromosome 11. Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body. Red blood cells with normal hemoglobin (hemoglobin-A) are smooth and round and glide through blood vessels. In people with sickle cell disease, abnormal hemoglobin molecules - hemoglobin S - stick to one another and form long, rod-like structures. These structures cause red blood cells to become stiff, assuming a sickle shape. Their shape causes these red blood cells to pile up, causing blockages and damaging vital organs and tissue.

    Extractions: A Hemoglobinopathy Disorder Save Babies Through Screening Foundation is comprised of volunteers. Some have children who were helped by newborn screening, and some have children who have died, or suffered brain damage. For many of the Foundation's volunteers, joy comes from knowing that your child was saved. Many hours of hard work have been done to help children, maybe even yours. Please let us hear from you. The gene defect for sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive genetic trait and is unknowingly passed down from generation to generation. This faulty gene only emerges when two carriers have children together and pass it to their offspring. For each pregnancy of two such carriers, there is a 25% chance that the child will be born with the disease and a 50% chance the child will be a carrier for the gene defect. It is estimated that on average, sickle cell disease effects 1 of every 1,300 infants in the general population and approximately 1 of every 400 of African descent. It is seemingly more common in individuals of African and Mediterranean ancestry, however, it is not limited to these groups. Ancestor groups should not be a reason to avoid screening for this disorder. It can be found in children of all backgrounds.

Privacy Statement Sickle Cell Anemia - Description Sickle cell disease is a generic term for a group of genetic disorders characterized by the predominance of hemoglobin S (Hb S). These disorders include sickle cell anemia, the sickle beta thalassemia syndromes, and hemoglobinopathies in which Hb S is in association with another abnormal hemoglobin that not only can participate in the formation of hemoglobin polymers but also is present in sufficient concentration to enable the red cells to sickle. Examples of the latter disorders include hemoglobin SC disease, hemoglobin SD disease, and hemoglobin S O Arab disease. The sickle cell disorders are found in people of African, Mediterranean, Indian, and Middle Eastern heritage. In the United States, these disorders are most commonly observed in African Americans and Hispanics from the Caribbean, Central America, and parts of South America. In contrast to these diseases is sickle cell trait. Individuals with sickle cell trait (Hb AS) have a normal beta globin gene (bA) and a bS globin gene, resulting in the production of both normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S, with a predominance of Hb A. Their red blood cells sickle only under unusual circumstances such as marked hypoxia and the hyperosmolar environment of the renal medulla (resulting in hyposthenuria).

The gene for beta globin is located on chromosome 11 and there are over 475 allelic variants. One of these variants, sickle hemoglobin ( Hb S ), is responsible for sickle cell disease, one of the most prevalent genetic diseases, affecting over 50,000 Americans. Most individuals with sickle cell disease have African and Mediterranean ancestry. It is believed that the high frequency of the ( Hb S ) variant is maintained in these populations by the increased resistance to malaria infection in heterozygous carriers, those individuals who possess one copy of the normal beta globin gene (Hb A) and one copy of the sickle variant (

S ickle cell disease is the most common single gene disorder in black Americans, affecting approximately one in 375 persons of African ancestry. Sickling conditions are also common in persons from Mediterranean countries, Turkey, the Arabian peninsula and the Indian subcontinent. Many Spanish-speaking persons in the United States, as well as people from the Caribbean and parts of South and Central America, are affected. The first description of sickle cell disease, published in 1910, was followed by six decades of genetic, hematologic, pathologic, clinical and molecular observations. Since the mid-1970s, two longitudinal prospective studies of children with sickle cell disease have produced a large body of clinical data on the evolution of the disease from birth. The U.S. study followed 3,500 patients with sickle cell disease through sickness and health.

    Extractions: AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 62/No. 6 (September 15, 2000) Treatment advances over the past 25 years have significantly decreased morbidity and mortality in children with sickle cell disease. Aggressive management of fever, early diagnosis of acute chest syndrome, judicious use of transfusions and proper treatment of pain can improve quality of life and prognosis for these children. Prophylactic hydroxyurea therapy has been shown to reduce the incidence and severity of pain crises in adults with sickle cell disease and has been effective in limited studies conducted in children. Research into stem cell transplantation provides hope that a cure for sickle cell disease may be possible. (Am Fam Physician 2000;62:1309-14.) C omplications of sickle cell disease occur suddenly and can rapidly become severe. Infection, acute splenic sequestration crisis, aplastic crisis, acute chest syndrome, stroke, cholelithiasis, renal disease and pain are the major complications of this disease in children. Some complications lend themselves to simple management, whereas others, including aseptic necrosis of the hip, priapism and leg ulcers, require prompt referral for specialized treatment Table 1 ). A child with sickle cell disease who is acutely ill is usually best managed in a facility that can provide pediatric tertiary care.

It is organized into four parts: Diagnosis and Counseling, Health Maintenance, Treatment of Acute and Chronic Complications, and Special Topics. Multiple new therapies are now available for children and adults with sickle cell disease, and often the options to be chosen present a dilemma for both patients and physicians. This book does not provide answers to many of these newer questions but rather explains the choices available.

    Extractions: Sickle cell anemia (sickle cell disease) is a disorder of the blood caused by an inherited abnormal hemoglobin (an oxygen-carrying protein within the red blood cells). The abnormal hemoglobin causes distorted (sickled) red blood cells. The sickled red blood cells are fragile and prone to rupture. When the number of red blood cells decreases from rupture (hemolysis), anemia is the result. This condition is referred to as sickle cell anemia. The irregular sickled cells can also block blood vessels causing tissue and organ damage and pain. Sickle cell anemia is one of the most common inherited blood anemias. The disease primarily affects Africans and African Americans. It is estimated that in the United States, some 50,000 African Americans are afflicted with the most severe form of sickle cell anemia. Overall, current estimates are that one in 1,875 U.S. African American is affected with sickle cell anemia. How is sickle cell anemia inherited?
