Summary
[edit]DescriptionSickle Cell Anemia.jpg |
English: A) Hemoglobin is made up of 4 chains: 2 α and 2 β. In Sickle Cell Anemia, a missense mutation causes the amino acid glutamic acid (Glu) to be replaced by valine (Val) in the β chains of HbA, resulting in the abnormal HbS.
B) Under certain conditions, such as low oxygen levels, red blood cells with HbS distort into sickled shapes. C) These sickle cells can block small vessels producing microvascular occlusions which may cause necrosis (death) of the tissue. |
