Knowledge and DdeI Based Confirmation of Sickle Cell Anemia Among the Tharu Community

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council, 2022
Background: Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder caused due to a point mutation at the sixth codon of the ?-globin gene of both alleles. Sickle cell traits occur when the mutation is in one of the two alleles of the ?-globin genes.
