Turning Blood Red -
The Fight for Life in Cooley's Anemiaby Arthur Bank
This book is the story of an inherited blood disease — Cooley’s anemia or beta
pathophysiology of this human hemoglobin disorder, the book describes the emotional
and medical impact of the disease on patients and their families. It also summarizes the
research on the disease at the level of the genes, DNA, RNA, and proteins. In addition, it also
includes chapters on current therapy and future approaches to the disease, such as gene
therapy, stem cell transplantation, and antenatal diagnosis. A multidisciplinary book covering the fields of
hematology, pediatrics, medicine, genetics, and molecular biology, the book details how Cooley’s
anemia serves as a model for understanding other human genetic and acquired diseases such as
cancer, neurological disorders, and heart disease. It also provides new insights which may lead to
new therapies.
