Below, you'll find the questions that people frequently ask regarding our foundation and the mission we champion. These inquiries shed light on our cause, providing insight into our work and the impact we strive to make in the community affected by sickle cell disorder.
Sickle cell disorder is a genetic blood disorder that affects the shape of red blood cells. It can lead to various health complications due to the abnormal shape of the cells.
Sickle cell disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning both parents must pass on the mutated gene for a child to have the disease.
Common symptoms include chronic pain, fatigue, jaundice, and susceptibility to infections.
Currently, there is no cure for sickle cell disorder, but ongoing research is leading to promising treatments.
