It's only when you inherit the mutation from both parents that you get sickle-cell anemia.(只有當(dāng)你同時遺傳了父母雙方的突變，你才會患上鐮刀狀細(xì)胞性貧血。)

A cancer drug called hydroxyurea (Droxia, Hydrea) also is used to treat sickle cell anemia.(羥基脲是一種抗腫瘤藥，也可以用來治療鐮狀細(xì)胞性貧血。)

Sickle-cell anemia is a blood disease that causes the cell to form a characteristic sickle-shape.(鐮形細(xì)胞貧血癥是一種能使細(xì)胞發(fā)生鐮形變化的血液病。)

Approximately 5% of the world's population are healthy carriers of a gene for sickle-cell disease or thalassaemia.(全世界近5%的健康人口攜帶有鐮狀細(xì)胞病或地中海貧血的基因。)

To investigate BCL11A's therapeutic value, Orkin's team turned to a mouse model for sickle cell disease.(為了進(jìn)一步研究BCL11A的治療價值，奧爾金的研究小組轉(zhuǎn)向鐮狀貧血癥的白鼠模型。)

But Kosice's hammer-and-sickle past is never far away.(但是，鐮刀鐵錘統(tǒng)治科希策的日子并沒有走得太遠(yuǎn)。)

Sickle-cell anaemia is passed on through a recessive gene.(鐮狀細(xì)胞貧血通過隱性基因遺傳給后代。)

Approximately 5% of the world's population carries trait genes for haemoglobin disorders, mainly, sickle-cell disease and thalassaemia.(世界人口近5%攜帶血紅蛋白疾患的特征基因，血紅蛋白疾患主要包括鐮狀細(xì)胞病和地中海貧血。)

It replicates in a living organism data that might be useful to deliver new drugs for the treatment of sickle cell disease and other blood disorders.(它復(fù)制了活體組織的數(shù)據(jù)，可能會對研制治療鐮狀貧血癥及其他血液疾病的新藥物有用。)

Family history. If your family has a history of an inherited anemia, such as sickle cell anemia, you also may be at increased risk of the condition.(家族史如果你有親人患有遺傳性的貧血，比如鐮刀細(xì)胞性貧血，那么你患有這種貧血的風(fēng)險也會比一般人高。)

That sawing motion of the sickle that reapers have used for..ten thousand years.
