Learning how to activate this switch might help doctors direct the body to make healthier blood cells -- in this case, replicating conditions found in the womb.
People with these blood disorders either make too little or abnormal forms of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that is vital for carrying oxygen to the body's tissues

The Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease reported that dactylitis, severe anemia, and leukocytosis in very young children with sickle cell disease (SCD) increased the risk of later adverse outcomes, including death, stroke, frequent pain, and recurrent acute chest syndrome. They established a prediction model of adverse outcomes in children with sickle cell anemia. The model will helps doctors choose better treatment for newborn with Sickle Cell Disease to reduce fatal rate.
