Parents having Sickle Cell Anaemia gets a healthy baby
                     PARENTS HAVING SICKLE CELL 
ANAEMIA GETS A HEALTHY BABY
• Sickle cell anemia for those couples who are going to have a baby, mutation 
can become a nightmare. 
• It was often noticed that whenever a man or a woman carries a gene of 
sickle cell anemia, then their child is mutated with sickle cell anaemia. 
• Although with the development in modern science, it has now helped 
parents in doing proper treatment of a child suffering from sickle cell 
anaemia. 
• Let's understand more about the mutation of sickle cell anemia.

• Sickle cell anemia is a disease that can inherit in offspring. 
• This genetic disease has severe symptoms that can be both loss of 
blood and extreme pain.
• It is also recognized as an autosomal recessive disease, meaning 
that if the child inherits two mutated copies of the hemoglobin 
gene, the child will definitely develop sickle cell anemia.

• In this case each of the parent will bear a copy of the mutated 
gene. 
• If the child inherits only one mutated hemoglobin gene, the child 
will have the possibilities to develop sickle cell anemia. 
• Transplantation of hematopoietic stem cell is one of the sickle cell 
anemia treatment methods in which blood cell growth is observed.

• A compatible donor is a needed for proper transplantation of the bone marrow. 
• The blood taken from the umbilical cord contains high amount of hematopoietic 
stem cells, so it can be said that cord blood can used as the method of 
treatment of sickle cell anaemia.
• Doctors have figured out a way to avoid this inheritance when the ovum of the 
woman is fertilized in the laboratory and then doctors analyzes what to implant 
in the womb. 
HOW IT CAN BE PREVENTED?
• This entire procedure includes two major terms of genetic 
diagnosis of in - vitro fertilization and pre - implantation.
• Doctors in South America did extensive research on a couple 
suffering from anemia of sickle cells by using these methods that 
they had a normal child. 
• This couple had a girl child before adopting the technique who also 
had sickle cell anemia, and after adopting this technique, the 
couple had a normal child. 
HOW IT CAN BE PREVENTED?
• The couple had in vitro fertilization. A total of 53 embryos were 
analyzed and then a perfect hemoglobin gene was selected. 
• Finally, it can be said that Mutation of sickle cell anemia is a 
hereditary disease that can be avoided either by fertilizing the eggs 
in the laboratory and then implanting the appropriate egg into the 
womb of a woman or by 
transplanting stem cells from the umbilical cord blood. Therefore, 
educate your child and prevent sickle cell anemia from occurring.
