1. Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive monogenic disorder with an estimated annual medical cost over USD 1.1 billion in the US [1,2,3,4]. A point mutation at the sixth position in β-globin gene substituting glutamic acid with valine results is sickled hemoglobin (HbS) [4]. Patients homozygous for this mutation are at increased risk for developing multiple organ failure due to vaso-occlusion, hemolysis, and sterile inflammation [4].
