Caused by a mutation, sickle cell anemia is a disorder that affects hemoglobin, the red blood cell molecule that carries oxygen to cells throughout the body. The β chain of the hemoglobin protein is a single chain of amino acids and is 147 amino acids long. In humans, the gene that encodes for the β chain is located on chromosome 11. The diagrams show the DNA, RNA, and amino acid sequence of an unaffected person and a person with sickle cell anemia.
