FAQs
-
What is Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)?Sickle Cell Disease is a group of inherited blood disorders that affect hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to the body. In SCD, red blood cells become hard and sticky and look like a C-shaped farm tool called a “sickle.” These sickled cells die early, causing a constant shortage of red blood cells.
