Sickle cell anaemia | Genetics | Biology | FuseSchool

There are about 4.4 million people in the world who have sickle-cell anaemia, while an additional 43 million are carriers.

but did you know?

Having the sickle cell allele actually protects you against malaria. This means you are more likely to survive childhood and pass on the sickle cell allele to your children.

My teacher sent me here... But hey, this video is very helpful and very well done!

[vanessa-xoxoxo]

I came here because I have sickle cell, I was born in Nigeria, moved to England at the age of 4 and have been battling sickle cell all my life. I had no idea that sickle cell anaemia could protect me from malaria. Very educative thanks

Its like a disease that gets rid of the disease

Can you pls explain the reason why this disease is more common in areas where malaria is common? I don’t really get the point that was made in the video

[cocogoatganyu]

people who have homozygous sickle cell, would that mean that they would be protected from malaria?

[asclasses]

Even my teacher did send me here and t' was worthy!
