I think the individual is therefore homozygous recessive. Sickle cell anemia is a disorder of the blood caused by an inherited abnormal hemoglobin. The abnormal hemoglobin causes distorted red blood cells. The sickle red blood cells are fragile and prone to rupture. Sickle cell anemia is as a result of mutation in a single gene (β-thalassemia).
