Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder that affects more than 70,000 Americans. Sickle cell anemia is a blood disorder that affects the hemoglobin, the protein found in red blood cells that help carry oxygen throughout the body. It occurs when a person inherits two abnormal genes causing their red blood cells to change shape. Instead of the cells being flexible and disc-shaped, they are curved and resemble the shape of a crescent moon. Are you Living with Sickle Cell?Join our organization today.
