Sickle Cell Disease (Scd) Is A Blood Disorder Caused By A Defective Hemoglobin, Which Causes The Red Blood Cells To Be Damaged And Disabled. Anemia Is Caused By A Collapse Of Abnormal Red Blood Cells And Blockage Of Blood Vessels, Leading To Repeated Outbreaks Of Severe Pain And Organ Damage. Scd Affects Millions Of People Worldwide, But It Is Most Common In Ancestral People From Sub-Saharan Africa, The Western Hemisphere (South America, The Caribbean And Central America), Saudi Arabia, India And The Mediterranean Nations Such As Turkey, Greece, And Italy. Unless Other Children Are Successfully Treated With Blood Cells Or Bone Marrow, There Is No Commonly Available Cure For Scd.1
