It is false that sickle cell anemia is most common in people of Northern European descent. Although many people all over the world may have this type of anemia, it is the most common when it comes to South American people, not Europeans. Sickle cell anemia distorts the form of your hemoglobin, which leads to bacterial infections, storkes, swelling in the hands and feet, etc.

Answer from: josephjannace12

Sickle cell anemia is more common in Northern European descent. This statement is false because it is more common in American people.

Sickle cell anemia is a kind of anemia that can be inherited. In this condition there is no adequate amount of red blood cell which carries oxygen in the body. In a normal individual red blood cell round, flexible and can move easily through the vessels. On the other hand, if an individual is suffering from sickle cell anemia his/her red blood cell becomes sticky, rigid, and shaped similar to crescent or sickle. These crescents shaped RBC get trapped in vessels, which lock or slow down the flow of blood and unable to provide oxygen. Sickle cell anemia cannot be easily treated but medicines can provide relief in the pain.
