Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder that mostly affects people of African ancestry, but also occurs in other ethnic groups, including people who are of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern descent. sickle cell trait , which means they carry a single gene for the disease, but do not have the disease itself.
What Is Sickle Cell Anemia?
Sickle cell anemia is a blood disorder that affects hemoglobin (pronounced: hee -muh-glow-bin), the protein found in red blood cells (RBCs) that helps carry oxygen throughout the body. Red blood cells with normal hemoglobin ( hemoglobin A , or HbA ) move easily through the bloodstream, delivering oxygen to all of the cells of the body. Normal RBCs are shaped like discs or doughnuts with the centers partially "scooped out" and are soft and flexible. They can easily "squeeze" through even very small blood vessels. Sickle cell anemia occurs because an abnormal form of hemoglobin ( HbS ) is produced. HbS molecules tend to clump together, making red blood cells sticky, stiff, and more fragile, and causing them to form into a curved, sickle shape.

The sickle cell mutation causes the hemoglobin molecule to form long chains when oxygen levels are low, producing sickled red blood cells (RBC). The sickled RBC block capillaries and small blood vessels, causing damage to organs. The sickled RBC also break easily, leading to reduced oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, or anemia.

Get support for sickle cell anemia by focusing on your unique nutritional needs. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may help you manage this kind of chronic anemia:
  • Fight back with fish oil Reduce the frequency of severe pain episodes by taking a daily fish oil supplement providing 33 mg of EPA and 23 mg of DHA for every 2.2 pounds of body weight Think zinc Under the supervision of a doctor, take a daily supplement of 100 mg of zinc, plus 2 mg of copper, to help prevent cell damage and speed healing of leg ulcers associated with sickle cell anemia Fill up on fluids Drink plenty of water and other fluids to maintain good circulation Take a test Have your blood homocysteine levels checked to find out if daily folic acid supplements of 1 to 4 mg are right for you, or to discover if you have a vitamin B12 deficiency that requires treatment
These recommendations are not comprehensive and are not intended to replace the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.

CLUSTAL-W This is a tool on the Biology Workbench that is used to align a group of protein sequences by their common elements so that they can be compared. energetically favored Energetically favored is a term that refers to whether two molecules or amino acids are likely to stay near each other. To simplify thermodynamics, the amino acids that are hydrophobic (don't like water) try to associate with each other because they are not charged while water is charged. This is why cooking oil and water do not mix. The hydrophobic oil trys to stick to itself and get away from the water. The oil staying in droplets on the water is energetically favored, but the oil mixing with the water is NOT energetically favored. glutamate Glutamate is one of the 20 amino acids found in biological organisms. Its three letter abbreviation is Glu, and its single-letter designation is E. Glutamate is has an acidic side chain, which means that at the pH in the body, it is negatively charged. The charge on glutamate means that it likes to be associated with water or other amino acids that have charges.

    Each group will do a case study and make an oral presentation on a genetic disease. You will use the CaseIt software (runs on Windows and OS X). Note: there exists a Windows Athena cluster located in 37-312. The combo to get into the cluster is the same as for all clusters (log in to athena and type 'tellme combo'). You should get familiar with the software early, to work out any software problems. Each group has 8 minutes to present with 2 minutes for questions. Presentations should be made as informative yet entertaining as possible. Be scientifically accurate but understandable to a general audience. edit

    What is Sickle Cell Anemia?
    When hemoglobin of the type A becomes infected they turn into a kind of peculiar shape. This is the shape of a sickle and hence the name sickle cell anemia. This is an inherited condition and can affect any age groups and any gender. Our body consists of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets and many other constitutions. For the sake of this explanation we will take into consideration only the red blood cells. The red blood cells are mainly composed of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a carrier for oxygen in the blood. The normal life of hemoglobin is 120 days give or take ten days. The healthy hemoglobin is also a healthy round shape and is a rubbery / spongy substance. This type of hemoglobin is known as Hemoglobin A. When a person is affected by sickle cell disease, the hemoglobin is the main component that is affected in the body. Further all complications results from this basic condition. The life of the hemoglobin is reduced to some 20 odd days. The infected hemoglobin is known as the hemoglobin S a short form for hemoglobin sickle. The affected hemoglobin turns a sickle shape. The peculiarity of this shape itself being, it does not flow easily through the veins. It starts clogging the veins. The clogged veins do not allow the good hemoglobin to flow through them also.

    Sickle cell anemia
    Sickle cell anemia is a nearly lethal condition in humans, responsible for about 100, 000 deaths a year. About 80% of individuals with this condition die before reproducing. Yet despite such apparently strong selection against the gene responsible for sickle cell hemoglobin, it is maintained at frequencies of 10% or even more in some human populations. Why is this? The answer was first suggested by Haldane and confirmed by Allison. Sickle cell anemia is caused by a genetic variant of a-hemoglobin. If we symbolize the normal hemoglobin allele by A and the sickle cell hemoglobin by S, then people who suffer from sickle cell anemia are SS. Haldane compared a map of the incidence of malaria with a map of the gene frequency: they are strikingly similar. Perhaps hemoglobin S provides some advantage in malarial zones. It turned out that, although SS is almost lethal, the heterozygote AS is more resistant to malaria than the homozygote AA. AS red blood cells are more difficult for the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum to colonize. Therefore, where the malarial parasite is common, AS humans survive better than AA, which suffer from malaria.

    Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease in which the normal red blood cells, which are round and move fluidly, become sickle shaped, rigid, and move through the body with stiffness and difficulty. The red blood cells which are shaped like crescents or sickles die off early, leaving a shortage of red blood cells in the body in which to carry an appropriate amount of oxygen. When sickle cells travel through the body, they have a tendency to get stuck when trying to flow through smaller blood vessels which is painful and can lead to severe complications. When the oddly shaped blood vessels become stuck, they slow blood flow to various parts of the body as well as deny the body desperately needed oxygen rich blood cells. Having sickle cell trait means having one gene that determines the disease. Patients with sickle cell trait do not develop symptoms nor do they develop full blown sickle cell anemia. Approximately one out of every twelve African Americans has sickle cell trait. Sickle cell anemia requires two genes which determine the disease. The disease can range from mild to severe, depending on the patient. One patient may have only a few episodes in a lifetime while another patient may require repeated hospitalizations.
