The African medical literature reported this condition in the 1870’s where it was locally known as ‘ogbanjes’.The sickle cells were first explained in 1904 by a Chicago cardiologist, James B. Herrick.The disease was named “sickle cell anemia” by Vernon Mason in 1922. The association of this disease with alteration of hemoglobin was published in 1949 by Linus Pauling and coworkers.Origin of mutation occurred between 3,000 to 6,000 generations ago, approximately 70 to 150,000 years before.

It is a group of disorders that affects hemoglobin.People with this disease contain an abnormal hemoglobin called HbS in their RBCs.It is an inherited blood disorder, an autosomal recessive disease.

“It is a specific type of sickle cell disease in which there is homozygosity for the mutation that causes HbS”.

Produced due to the point mutation in hemoglobin beta gene (HBB gene) found at chromosome number 11.
It results from the substitution of valine for glutamic acid at position 6 of beta-globin gene.

It is an inherited condition in which both HbA and HbS are produced.HbA=60% > HbS=40%Such individuals are asymptomatic.They act as carriers and can transmit the disease to their offspring's.

If one parent has sickle cell anemia and other is normal, all children will have sickle cell trait.If one parent has sickle cell anemia and other has sickle cell trait there is 50% chance of either with each pregnancy.If both parents have sickle cell trait.

People with sickle cell gene who continue to carry some HbF are better protected from severe form of the disease.
It is able to block the sickling action of the RBCs so infants who have inherited the disease do not develop symptoms.
