Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic, inherited blood disorder that impacts hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells (RBCs) that carries oxygen throughout the body. The disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the beta-chain of hemoglobin, which results in the formation of abnormal hemoglobin known as sickle hemoglobin (HbS).
