what type of inheritance is associated with sickle cell anemia
Sickle-cell disease Sickle-cell disease (SCD) is a group of blood disorders typically inherited from a person's parents.[2] The most common type is known as sickle-cell anaemia (SCA).[2] It results in an abnormality in the oxygen-carrying protein haemoglobin (haemoglobin S) found in red blood cells.[2] This leads to a rigid, sickle-like shape under certain circumstances.[2] Problems in sickle cell disease typically begin around 5 to 6 months of age.[1] A number of health problems may develop, such as attacks of pain ("sickle-cell crisis"), anemia, swelling in the hands and feet, bacterial infections, and stroke.[1] Long term pain may develop as people get older.[2] The average life expectancy in the developed world is 40 to 60 years.[2]

Vein Veins are less muscular than arteries and are often closer to the skin. There are valves in most veins to prevent backflow.
Vein Veins are present throughout the body as tubes that carry blood back to the heart. Veins are classified in a number of ways, including superficial vs. deep, pulmonary vs. systemic, and large vs. small.
