sickle cell disease: psychosocial aspects  

Definición

  • Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disease that is found in people of African descent as well as those whose ancestry is from certain groups in India, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. Its presence in Latin America is related to the intermingling of gene pools between people of African origin and the indigenous populations.
