it provides immunity against malaria
Sickle cell anaemia (in which RBCs become sickle shaped and stiff) is a genetic disorder that is autosomal and linked to a recessive allele. It has not been eliminated from the african population because it provides immunity against malaria. People who are heterozygous for sickle allele are much less susceptible for falciparum malaria which is one of the main causes of illness and death in them. Thus, the sickle cell allele is maintained at high levels in population where falciparum malaria is common.
Both sickle cell anaemia and Huntington's chorea are
