Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary disease caused by a specific mutation in the hemoglobin gene. The disease is characterized by abnormally shaped red blood cells that take on a crescent or sickle shape instead of their normal disc shape. This altered shape affects the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen, leading to […]
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. While the exact cause of Alzheimer’s disease remains unknown, recent research has shown that genetic factors play a significant role in the development and progression of the disease. Scientists have identified […]
