Sickle Cell Disease  ** Description: ** Sickle Cell Disease is an inherited blood disorder characterized by chronic anemia and periodic episodes of pain. The under lying problem involves hemoglobin, a component of red blood cells. Hemoglobin molecules in each red blood cell carry oxygen from the lungs to body organs and tissue and bring carbon dioxide back to the lungs.  A person inherits Sickle Cell Disease when she inherits an S type beta globin gene from one parent and a C type gene from the other.
