The biochemical analysis Red blood cells (erythrocytes) and sickle cell anemia (which can lead to a splenic infraction on high altitude): QA) Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease that is caused by a single nucleotide change in the gene sequence for hemoglobin. This mutation changes a codon from GAG to GUG, which causes an alteration in the hemoglobin protein, changing what is typically an E into a V. Explain and compare the properties of E and V that make...

Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive condition in which the red blood cells are sickle-shaped which can cause severe pain and even strokes. These individuals will have a mutated hemoglobin B gene. A person with sickle cell anemia is given hydroxyurea. Which of the following is true of this treated individual (there are two correct answers). The person will no longer be able to pass this mutation on to their children. The hemoglobin B gene mutation will be repaired.=...

Case Study You are caring for a young adult patient who has had repeated hospitalizations for sickle cell crisis. Ms. Soha was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia and has had multiple crises requiring hospitalization. Ms. Soha states that the pain in her chest is an 8 on a 0-10 scale. She describes the pain as a constant burning pain. Her vital signs are temperature of 38.5, blood pressure 120/76, pulse 96, and respiration rate of 22. Her oxygen saturation on...

Sickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal, recessive disorder. Individuals who inherit the mutated gene from both parents will show symptoms of sickle cell, including a stiffening of the red blood cells when the individual is under conditions with low oxygen levels in the air (e.g. on top of a mountain). This can lead to low red blood cell count (anemia), shortness of breath, fatigue, jaundice, and joint pain. Most critically, the stiffened red blood cells can clog small...

Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a single point mutation in the hemoglobin of human red blood cells. It is a recessive gene. People who have sickle cell anemia are homozygous recessive and suffer terribly from this disorder. Now I have stated in lecture that mutations are neither good nor bad. Rather it depends on how the mutation effects the survival of the species. If the mutation harms the survival of the species it is bad, if it helps the survival...

The parents of a 4 year-old child report to their pediatrician concerned about their daughter’s lethargy, sleepiness, tendency to bruise easily, and recurring ear infections. The pediatrician orders a complete blood count with differential, as well as a metabolic panel. Laboratory findings identify anemia (low hematocrit) and thrombocytopenia, as well as an abnormal white blood cell differential. Pathological investigation of a blood smear and bone marrow biopsy identified high amount of neoplastic lymphoblasts in the peripheral blood. What is the...

Sickle-cell anemia is an interesting genetic disease. Normal homozygous individuals (SS) have normal blood cells that are easily infected with the malarial parasite. Thus, many of these individuals become very ill from the parasite and many die. Individuals homozygous for the sickle-cell trait (ss) have red blood cells that readily collapse when deoxygenated. Although malaria cannot grow in these red blood cells, individuals often die because of the genetic defect. However, individuals with the heterozygous condition (Ss) have some sickling...
