sickle cell disease

A blood protein disease that is characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia and intermittent vaso-occlusive events that result in tissue ischemia leading to acute and chronic pain as well as organ damage that can affect any organ system, resulting from the replacement of one of the beta-globin subunits in hemoglobin with atypical hemoglobin molecules called hemoglobin S which can distort red blood cells into a sickle or crescent shape. Sickle cell disease subtypes should include a detailed genotypic description for the hemoglobin molecules (e.g., Hb S/S, Hb S/C, Hb S/0-thalassemia).

X-linked mental retardation-hypotonic facies syndrome-1

A syndromic X-linked intellectual disability that is characterized primarily by severe mental retardation, dysmorphic facies, and a highly skewed X-inactivation pattern in carrier women and that has_material_basis_in mutation in the ATRX gene. X-linked mental retardation-hypotonic facies syndrome comprises several syndromes previously reported separately. These include Carpenter-Waziri, Holmes-Gang, and Smith-Fineman-Myers syndromes. X-linked alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome is an allelic disorder with a similar phenotype with the addition of alpha-thalassemia and Hb H inclusion bodies in erythrocytes.
