Do Somalis ever suffer from sickle cell disease horta
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder.
"Sickle cell anemia is common among people whose ancestors come from sub-Saharan Africa, Spanish speaking regions of the world (South America, Cuba, and Central America), Saudi Arabia, India, and Mediterranean countries such as Turkey, Sicily, Greece, and Italy."
Where does sickle cell disease come in?
Some part of the human population has a mutation to their hemoglobin, which is the protein in the red blood cell that carries oxygen. Often, people of sub-
Saharan African origins have two copies of this mutated gene, which leads to severe sickle cell disease.
