It replicates in a living organism data that might be useful to deliver new drugs for the treatment of sickle cell disease and other blood disorders.(它復制了活體組織的數據，可能會對研制治療鐮狀貧血癥及其他血液疾病的新藥物有用。)

Family history. If your family has a history of an inherited anemia, such as sickle cell anemia, you also may be at increased risk of the condition.(家族史如果你有親人患有遺傳性的貧血，比如鐮刀細胞性貧血，那么你患有這種貧血的風險也會比一般人高。)
