The fact is that the vast majority of white people have anemia or sickle cell anemia. We have a genetic mutation. We have a tendency to have it, but it is not a disease. It is a weakness.
The thing is, we have two genetic mutations that cause sickle cell anemia, and they are both inherited. The mutations are identical twins, so the people who inherit them are actually identical. So in other words, we could have a genetic mutation that makes us have sickle cell anemia and that same mutation would cause it to make us white. But that does not seem to happen.
This is an interesting genetic mutation because it does not seem to make us sick. It appears to make us white! We could also have an environmental factor that causes them to make us sick, or a genetic variant that causes a certain gene to be expressed, but those effects seem to be minor.
A white person with sickle cell anemia would get sickle cell anemia. But that does not seem to happen. A white person with sickle cell anemia would get sickle cell anemia. This may be a false connection, but it could be the reason that many people mistakenly think that sickle cell anemia is a genetic condition.
So, you could have sickle cell anemia, but not because of the color of your skin. That doesn’t seem to be the case either. Sickle cell anemia is a disease that is caused by a faulty gene, but it’s not genetic.
The disease is actually caused by a condition called x-linked (also called mitochondrial disease) where a certain mutation in the mitochondrial DNA (which is the DNA used to make energy) causes a lack of energy. Since this is a disease where the mitochondrial DNA is faulty, you could not inherit that faulty gene. But you could inherit an abnormal version of the gene and that would cause a different disease called sickle cell anemia.
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease that affects 1 in 1,000 people. It is a disease that affects the body’s hemoglobin which is what holds the red blood cells together and which is also responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues. When the cells containing the defective gene fail to make enough hemoglobin, they can no longer properly transport oxygen to the tissues. This is a particular type of anemia called hemolytic anemia.
Sickle cell anemia is caused by a rare genetic disorder. The sickle cell hemoglobin is produced throughout the body and is stored in the red blood cells like a battery. If a person develops a sickle cell, then the abnormal hemoglobin will cause the red blood cells to become so large that they can no longer hold the oxygen they do. This causes the person to become short of breath, have dizziness, nausea, and eventually unconscious.
People with this condition often get sickle cell anemia. In fact, the disease is so rare that only one in 100,000 people have it. It is caused by an abnormal hemoglobin, not a defect in the genes that produce the hemoglobin.
Sickle cell anemia is a rare disease, but it is no less serious or life-threatening than any other medical condition. Because the disease happens in so many people, it is almost impossible to diagnose. Fortunately, a simple blood test can help doctors find out whether someone with sickle cell has it.
