Sickle Cell Anemia |
Sickle cell anemia chromosome question01/05/2008 07:41PM |
Which chromosome does the mutation occur upon? Which gene? Where on the chromosome, on both or on one? Thank you
The mutation occurs in the 6th codon of the beta globin gene located on chromosome 11. If one gene is affected the individual has sickle trait (carrier) and if both genes are affected the individual has sickle cell disease.
