In the 1980s, a research team led by Parisian scientists identified several unique DNA sequences, or haplotypes, linked to sickle cell anemia in African populations. This title traces how this genetic discourse has blotted from view the roles that Senegalese patients and doctors have played in making sickle cell 'mild' in a social setting.
