Sickle cell anemia (SS) is an inherited chronic inflammatory and degenerative disease in which hemoglobin S (Hb S) is produced. Deoxy Hb S polymerizes and initiates a series of pathophysiologic events including decreased deformability of RBC, vaso-occlusion and tissue damage due to ischemia. The phenotypic expression of the disease varies from mild to severe depending on the specific genotype, gene modifiers, epigenetic and psychosocial factors. In its severe form, the disease is characterized by recurrent acute painful crises, severe anemia and organ damage.
