People who have the genetic disorder called WHAT disease suffer from lack of oxygen in the blood?

please please please help me its a ONE WORD ANSWER i need to finish this study guide so i can get a good grade on my funal exam, if you help me ill luv ya 4eva, thnx! =)
Answer:
Sickle cell anaemia. Caused by a mutation that alters the shape of the Red Blood Cell making it less able to carry oxygen. This is because the cell has less surface area than a normal shaped onr.

Hypoxia? Better look it up %26 see if that's right.

---

sickle cell anemia? Their hemoglobin's messed up, so their red blood cells don't carry enough oxygen.

---

could be anemia or sickle cell disease too, but the lack of oxygen in the blood from sickle cell stems from the fact that the red blood cells are malformed, so maybe its a trick, I'd look this up on webmd or something. Anemia is when you simply lack the red blood cells altogether.
Good luck, sorry I couldn't be more help.

Sickle cell anaemia

is it Cyanosis?

anemia, cyanosis,hypoxia are not genetic disorders...I think sickle cell anemia or also called sickle cell disease is a good answer.

---

Hypoxia and cyanosis are not genetic disorders. Sickle cell disease is a hemoglobinopathy that causes deformation of the red blood cells, clogging capillaries. That may be the answer that your study guide is looking for, though.

This isn't an easy one. Here is a list of genetic disorders:

sickle cell is a form of anemia BUT all anemia causes lack of O2 in the blood. Also, if you want to get into parasites, African Sleeping Sickness, aka Trypanosoma gambiense causes death bc of lack of O2 in the blood. The parasites infect the RBCs and O2 can no longer attach to the cells to be transported thru the body.

hemaglobinopathy diseases all cause anemia and are genetic. you can search the internet for an entire list, but they include sickle cell disease, alpha thalassemia, beta thalaseemia, hereditary spherocytosis.
