hemoglobin s-c disease
Hemoglobin S-C disease is a genetic blood disorder characterized by the presence of both hemoglobin S (the mutation responsible for sickle cell) and hemoglobin C (an abnormal variant of hemoglobin) in red blood cells. This condition leads to abnormal red blood cell shape, resulting in various symptoms such as anemia, pain, and organ damage.
