Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation on the eleventh chromosome. It replaces one amino acid with another. This swap of amino acids changes the structure of the red blood cell from a disk shape to a sickle, or curved, shape. The sickle-shaped red blood cells are less able to carry oxygen throughout the body. When organs do not receive oxygen from red blood cells, severe pain occurs.
