The term sickle cell disease (SCD) describes a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. People with SCD have abnormal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S or sickle hemoglobin, in their red blood cells.Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body.âInheritedâ means that the disease is passed by genes from parents to their children.n all forms of SCD, at least one of the two abnormal genes causes a personâs body to make hemoglobin S. When a person has two hemoglobin S genes, Hemoglobin SS, the disease is called sickle cell anemia. This is the most common and often most severe kind of SCD.
