Sickle Cell Disease: The Challenge of Healthcare Disparity April 2018

Global Blood Therapeutics, Inc. (SCD): DISABLING INHERITED BLOOD DISORDER • SCD is an uncommon (or orphan) disease in the U.S., affecting approximately 100,000 people.1

• It disproportionately impacts African American and Hispanic Americans, occurring in 1 out of every 365 African American births and 1 out of every 16,300 Hispanic American births.

• Every system in the body is impacted due to a lack of oxygen

• Symptoms vary from childhood (e.g., stroke, acute chest syndrome) to adulthood (e.g., osteonecrosis of bone)

• Clinical manifestations get worse over time in terms both of the severity of particular episodes (e.g., pain) and the presence or absence of a particular problem (e.g., leg ulcers)

Sickle cell disease decreases median lifespan by decades

James Herrick and Ernest E. Irons at Harvey Itano and used at MRC in London Cook County Hospital in Chicago first the newly invented technique of used protein sequencing to described sickle cell disease in a protein electrophoresis to demonstrate demonstrate that HbS derived from a student from Grenada, Walter Clement that sickle (HbS) differed glutamic acid to valine amino acid Noël. He had an anemia marked by from normal hemoglobin (HbA). change at position β-6. The recently red cells that looked like “crescents or elucidated genetic code allowed sickles”. Noël returned to Grenada deduction of the nucleotide change after training in dentistry. (GAG → GTG).

• Sickle cell disease is an uncommon debilitating illness affecting primarily African Americans and Hispanic Americans

• Patients lack access to quality chronic care which increases expensive hospital and ED usage and driving up costs to our healthcare system and to our society

• Current treatment options are sub-optimal and therefore limited in use

• Integrated, comprehensive care program with effective and preventative interventions are essential to reverse healthcare disparity in sickle cell disease
