Que modificación hay que tener en el ADN para que se cause la anemia drepanocítica?
Elanso [62]

Lo siento, no hablo muy bien el español.

La anemia de células falciformes pertenece a un grupo de trastornos conocidos como enfermedad de células falciformes. La anemia de células falciformes es un trastorno hereditario de los glóbulos rojos en el que no hay suficientes glóbulos rojos sanos para transportar oxígeno por todo el cuerpo.

Normalmente, los glóbulos rojos se mueven fácilmente a través de los vasos sanguíneos. En la anemia de células falciformes, la sangre roja tiene forma de hoz o de luna creciente. Estas células pueden atascarse en pequeños vasos sanguíneos, lo que puede ralentizar o bloquear el flujo sanguíneo y el oxígeno a partes del cuerpo.
