| What is Sickle Cell Disease? A genetic mutation causes normally smooth and donut-shaped red blood cells to assume a stiff sickle conformation in individuals afflicted with the disease. The sickle-shaped red blood cells get stuck in small blood vessels causing episodes of pain, tissue and organ damage, which leads to serious medical conditions. |
