sickle-cell

基本解释

Sickle-cell anemia affects a red blood cell's oxygen-carrying capacity, making everyday tasks difficult.
镰状细胞贫血影响血红细胞输氧能力，使患者连日常活动都感困难。
It is now known that genetic variability accounts for 25% of susceptibility to the disease, but that variations in the sickle-cell gene contribute to only a fraction of that.
现在，25 ％的对疾病的敏感性被归咎于遗传变异。但在镰细胞基因上的变异仅仅参与了其中的一小部分。
The system could also diagnose sickle-cell anaemia from blood samples, while fluorescent images of a stained sputum smear were sufficient to identify the presence of tuberculosis.
用这个方法能从血液样本中查出镰刀形红细胞贫血症，染色唾液涂片的荧光图像还能诊断出是否得了肺结核。

In a normal cell DNA that DNA in the normal cell - this DNA gets cut by the restriction enzyme, so the sickle gene ends up - so that hemoglobin gene ends up in two pieces.
一个正常细胞的DNA,正常细胞里的DNA,会被限制酶所剪切,因此镰状血红蛋白基因--,不对,是正常血红蛋白基因被切成两段

Correcting malfunctioning genes could perhaps cure diseases linked to a single gene, such as sickle-cell anemia.
FORBES: Magazine Article
Early trials have shown promise in treating sickle-cell anaemia, a disease caused by a faulty haemoglobin gene.

Sickle-cell anaemia, caused by genes protect against malaria, is the most famous example.
