Abstract

Key points Sickle cell disease (SCD) occurs when a DNA base pair substitution in the β-globin gene results in the formation of hemoglobin S, which polymerizes when deoxygenated, leading to deformation (“sickling”) and hemolysis of red blood cells. Sickle cell disease results in recurrent acute
