It is unclear why this question is so long. Really, the important part is: 'why would a bone marrow transplant help someone whose red blood cells had a genetic defect?'. The answer is that bone marrow is responsible for generating red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Bone marrow is the tissue found inside your bones. This tissue contains stem cells which develop into the different blood components mentioned above. Replacing the bone marrow would overcome the problem of a genetic defect of the blood.
