Individuals diagnosed with sickle-cell anemia have abnormal function of the gene that encodes for subunit B‚ which is a protein that serves as part of the hemoglobin A (HbA). The HbA is responsible for oxygen binding through the blood stream. Indeed‚ the abnormal polymerization of hemoglobin occurs in homozygous individuals with sickle-cell anemia‚ which lowers the oxygen supply of red blood cells. To lower the negative consequences of sickle-cell anemia‚ it is necessary to provide a better understanding

cartilage fails to mature and mineralize normally. Because the bone is undermineralized it is also soft and ductile‚ and this leads to bowing of the limbs‚ widening and compression of the ends of the long bones‚ etc. In rickets‚ during prolonged deficiency of calcium (and phosphate)‚ the body increases PTH to prevent hypocalcemia by causing osteoclastic absorption of the bone. This‚ in turn‚ causes the bone to become progressively weaker‚ resulting in rapid osteoblastic activity. The osteoblasts produce
