    #34 More Genetics In Problem 33, we learned that for some diseases, such as sickle-cell anemia, an individual will get the disease only if he or she receives both recessive alleles. This is not always the case. For example, Huntington’s disease only requires one dominant gene for an individual to contract the disease. Suppose that a husband and wife, who both have a dominant Huntington’s disease allele (S) and a normal recessive allele (s), decide to have a child.…

    * Davon is a 5-year-old African American male who has just moved to Chicago, and he is visiting his new pediatrician for a kindergarten physical. His mother tells the nurse that she carries the sickle cell trait and wants Davon screened for it. Davon may have the sickle cell trait. I would say that it would be hard to determine if Devon has a blood disorder because he has no symptoms. I do think that Devon is at risk of having sickle cell. Sickle cell is a disease that is inherited. African-Americans are at greater risk for the disease than any other ethnic group. Sickle cell is caused by genetic abnormality. It is diagnosed by a blood test. The blood test measures the amount of abnormal sickle hemoglobin. Sickle cell can be treated by medications such as pain medications, anti-inflammatory medications, and antibiotics for infection.…

    When Malaria is present and infects red blood cells, parasites can infect cells carrying defective hemoglobin which may result in death. Allele frequency changes over time depending on the pressures or circumstances facing a particular population. African populations are especially impacted by both malaria and sickle cell anemia. Depending on the impacted population, allele frequency often shifts and well suited organisms are likely to survive and allele frequencies can increase. When a population is effected by disease or other circumstances, allele frequency may decrease or change. HbA (normal hemoglobin) and HbS (defective hemoglobin) have varying frequencies and while the HbS gene is present in populations it is important to understand how Malaria in particular can affect the sickle cell frequency. The way that diseases such as malaria impact the HbS gene may be different than how populations unaffected by malaria are impacted by HbS. What will happen to the sickle cell frequency in the presence of Malaria?…

    Sickle Cell Disease, commonly referred to as Sickle Cell Anemia, is a blood disease which red blood cells form an abnormal sickle or crescent shape. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body and are normally shaped like a disc. This disease is genetically inherited from both parents. If you inherit the sickle cell gene from only one parent, you will have sickle cell trait. People with sickle cell trait do not have the symptoms of sickle cell anemia.…

    Sickle Cell

    Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disease that means you are born with it and it lasts a lifetime. People with sickle cell anemia inherit two variant or sickle cell genes, one from each parent. In the United States, sickle cell anemia affects about 72,000 people. About 2 million Americans carry the sickle cell trait but about 1 in 12 African Americans have the trait. The signs and symptoms of sickle cell anemia are different in each person. Some people have mild symptoms; others have very severe symptoms and are often hospitalized for treatment. Infection is a major complication of sickle cell anemia but pneumonia is the leading cause of death in children with the disease. Although there is no cure for sickle cell anemia, doctors know a great deal about how to treat it. I know from experience that sickle cell anemia has affected my sister’s life since her early walking phases as a child. We didn’t know what exactly was wrong with her as an infant, a lot of the symptoms of fevers and fatigue occurred but they thought it was normal. The doctor’s decided to run test on her and found out it was sickle cell anemia. Soon she had to get her tonsils removed in order to keep her fevers down. Now it doesn’t show as much because she takes her medicine which makes her complete in everything she does. The most terrifying feeling about sickle cell anemia is how the doctor’s predict and tell you how their life expectancy is reduced. Knowing that every child doesn’t have an equally chance to be born healthy with no diseases or infections is sad. It was hard to believe that a healthy looking child could have a life threatening disease and still look normal but not all do. Nobody deserves any type of illness but it happens from being passed by one or both parents’ genes. While reading this article I learned more information than I knew which was exciting for me. Sickle cell anemia is a shocking…

    Definition: Sickle cell syndrome is a group of inherited disorders of hemoglobin structure that is are autosomal, recessive genetic diseases. The course of the disorders is variable among patients and even chronologically over each patient’s lifetime. Sickle cell patients have red blood cells that contain hemoglobin S (sickling or crescent shaped hemoglobin that creates abnormal blood flow in small blood vessels). SCD is caused by and altered gene that produces abnormal hemoglobin, the protein in normal red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. When affected red cells lose oxygen, they collapse into a sickle, or C, shape and become stiff and sticky. Clumps of these cells block blood flow and can cause severe pain, organ damage from lack of oxygen and stroke. Anemia often develops in people with the disease because sickle cells die off quickly and bone marrow does not make new ones fast enough.” (“Blood Stem-Cell Transplant Regimen Reverses Sickle Cell Disease in…
