That sickle cell anemia news is remarkable.
I knew of the disease as a genetic problem, I hadn’t realised how much it affects specific ethnic groups (although that makes sense when you think about a genetic disorder)
Now, we need massive investments in healthcare in the countries where the problem is most prevalent
sabik@stufromoz The other thing about sickle cell disease affecting specific ethnic groups is the interaction with malaria
@sabik oh, interesting, I don’t know about that
