Sickle-cell disease is a human genetic disease caused by a recessive allele that substitutes a single amino acid in a globin polypeptide of hemoglobin, leading to deformed red blood cells and various symptoms.
La Drepanocitose est une maladie génétique humaine causée par un allèle récessif qui entraîne la substitution d'un seul acide aminé dans une chaîne de globine de l'hémoglobine, caractérisée par des globules rouges déformés qui peuvent causer divers symptômes.
