What Is Sickle Cell Disease?

Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen through the body. Misshapen red blood cells can block blood flow causing lifelong health problems. The only cure is a blood and bone marrow transplant, but treatments are available to manage the condition.
