Pauling introduced his fundamentally important concept of sickle cell anemia as a genetically transmitted molecular disease. [20] This vein (4) shows the interaction between the malaria sporozoites (6) with sickle cells (3) and regular cells (1).
Autosplenectomy caused by sickle cell anemia or hyposplenism in coeliac disease [3] In patients with obstructive liver disease, lecithin cholesterol acetyltransferase activity is depressed, which increases the cholesterol-to-phospholipid ratio and produces an absolute increase in the surface area of the red cell membrane.

In essence the HbF inhibits polymerization of HbS. A similar mechanism occurs with persons who have sickle cell trait.
