- Sickle cell anemia: Could gene therapy cure sickle cell anemia? (cbsnews.com)
- Now, a clinical trial at the National Institutes of Health is doing exactly that in an attempt to cure sickle cell anemia, a devastating genetic disease that kills hundreds of thousands of people around the world every year. (cbsnews.com)
- The gene that causes sickle cell anemia evolved in places like sub-Saharan Africa because it protects people from malaria. (cbsnews.com)
- Such haemoglobinopathies, mainly thalassaemias and sickle-cell anaemia, are globally widespread. (who.int)
- 200 000 cases of sickle-cell anaemia in Africa. (who.int)
- Globally, there are more carriers (i.e. healthy people who have inherited only one mutant gene from one parent) of thalassaemia than of sickle-cell anaemia, but the high frequency of the sickle-cell gene in certain areas leads to a high rate of affected newborns. (who.int)
- Sickle-cell anaemia is particularly common among people whose ancestors come from sub-Saharan Africa, India, Saudi Arabia and Mediterranean countries. (who.int)
- Frequencies of the carrier state determine the prevalence of sickle-cell anaemia at birth. (who.int)
- For example, in Nigeria, by far the most populous country in the subregion, 24% of the population are carriers of the mutant gene and the prevalence of sickle-cell anaemia is about 20 per 1000 births. (who.int)
- This means that in Nigeria alone, about 150 000 children are born annually with sickle-cell anaemia. (who.int)
