Sickle cell anemia is a point mutation in which the 6th position of the beta chain of Hb is replaced from glutamate to valine

The point mutation is the one in which there is a change in one codon as in sickle cell anemia whereas frame shift mutation occurs due to either insertion or deletion of multiple codons
