And he got up and he explained how he was driven to create some technology to help test for anemia, because people were dying unnecessarily.
In the case of Peru, despite a growing economy, there's malnutrition and anemia in places that export their own food, while the Amazon and our seas are being destroyed and overfished.
My family finally rescued me, but by that time, I had lost 19 pounds in those three weeks, as well as developing severe anemia, and was on the verge of suicide.
So once a double-stranded break is made in DNA, we can induce repair, and thereby potentially achieve astounding things, like being able to correct mutations that cause sickle cell anemia or cause Huntington's Disease.
The ability to fix DNA errors means that CRISPR could potentially create new treatments for diseases linked to specific genetic errors, like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia.
And then you would be one of hundreds of millions of people with a genetic disease, such as sickle cell anemia or progeria or muscular dystrophy or Tay-Sachs disease.
Millions suffer from sickle cell anemia because they have a single A to T point mutations in both copies of their hemoglobin gene.
So cutting this already-mutated hemoglobin gene that causes sickle cell anemia won't restore the ability of patients to make healthy red blood cells.
This short lifespan means that patients live with a constantly depleted supply of red blood cells; a condition called sickle-cell anemia.
But as the adaptation flourished, it became clear that inheriting the mutation from both parents resulted in sickle-cell anemia.
When you don't have enough iron, you can develop iron deficiency anemia.
They looked at malaria, diarrheal disease, pneumonia, iron deficiency anemia, and looked at what the consequences could be in 2050.
And it explains, for example, why carriers of sickle cell anemia are more common among some African and Asian populations or those with ancestry from these tropical regions.
Being a carrier for sickle cell anemia is therefore the best possible genetic option in a malarial environment.
Carriers are less susceptible to malaria, because they make some sickled red blood cells, but they make enough normal red blood cells that they aren't negatively affected by sickle cell anemia.
In terms of resisting TB and malaria, the physiological effects of the Tay-Sachs and sickle cell anemia mutations are good.
This relatively small investment would deliver extraordinary benefits, not least by preventing 140 neural-tube-defect deaths and more than 250,000 cases of anemia every year.
Spending around $5 million over ten years to fortify 95% of wheat flour would prevent annually 140 deaths from neural tube defects and more than 250,000 cases of anemia.
Similarly, half of all women of childbearing age in developing countries suffer from weakened immune systems, owing to anemia caused by iron deficiency.
Researchers (including at my laboratory) have investigated how the body naturally handles the occasional release of hemoglobin from aging red blood cells and from cells affected by blood diseases, such as hemolytic anemia.
Chile promoted the addition of iron to milk, resulting in a 66% reduction of anemia amongst babies.
For example, it can correct debilitating and ultimately lethal sickle-cell anemia, in which the abnormal erythrocyte “sickle cells” obstruct small blood vessels, causing frequent infections, pain in the limbs, and damage to various organs, including the lungs, kidneys, spleen, and brain.
Sickle-cell anemia is what geneticists call an autosomal recessive disease, which means that an affected individual has inherited a defective hemoglobin gene from both parents, so that every one of his or her sets of chromosomes carries a defective gene.
What is particularly significant is that every offspring of two patients with sickle-cell anemia will be afflicted with the disease.
Measures to reduce the prevalence of iron deficiency, anemia, and vitamin A, iodine, and zinc deficiencies – which remain significant in some countries of the region – would have a positive impact.
Blood loss, causing anemia, is the result of thousands of worms chewing at the wall of the gut.
As a doctor, I see women who appear healthy, but who suffer from anemia, owing partly to low iron intake.
Not only does anemia contribute to almost one-fifth of global maternal deaths; babies born to anemic women are also more likely to be underweight.
But it is widely known that certain mutations can run in families, increasing dramatically the risks of certain diseases – for example, breast cancer, sickle-cell anemia, and cystic fibrosis.
Iron deficiency, one of the most significant micronutrient problems, causes anemia, which makes people weaker and less productive.
