Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes the hemoglobin protein that starts being used shortly after birth. Homozygous mutations in this gene lead to the production of mutant hemoglobin protein.

On December 8, 2023 the FDA approved Casgevy to treat sickle cell anemia. Casgevy is the first medical use of the CRISPR-Cas gene-editing system.
