After casual observations of how patients managed this painful blood disorder, the researchers in question postulated that the Senegalese type was less severe. The Enculturated Gene 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 where public health priorities and economic austerity programs have forced people toSickle cell anemiaSocial aspectsSenegalSickle cell anemiaGenetic aspectsSickle cell anemiaPatientsServices forSenegalGenetic disordersSocial aspectsSenegalKinshipHealth aspectsSenegalElectronic books.Africa.African anthropology.African genetics.African sicklers.Albert Royer Children's Hospital.CNTS.Centre nationale de transfusion sanguine.DNA haplotypes.DNA sequences.HbAS.International Organization for the Fight against Sickle Cell.National Blood Transfusion Center.OILD.RFLP.Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism.Senegal.Senegalese attitudes.Senegalese sickle cell.alternative care.biological expressions.biosocial politics.culture.disease experiences.disease expression.economic austerity.economically triaged care.ethnic population purity.fagara.genetic difference.genetic sequence.geneticists.global health problems.global health.healing practices.health intervention.health.healthy sicklers.heterozygous sickle cell.low-tech strategy.multilateral institutions.normalization techniques.patient advocacy.political apathy.population.public health.public neglect.self-care.sickle cell DNA markers.sickle cell anemia.sickle cell gene.sickle cell research.sickle cell trait.sicklers.social networks.traditional plants.vitality.Sickle cell anemiaSocial aspectsSickle cell anemiaGenetic aspects.Sickle cell anemiaPatientsServices forGenetic disordersSocial aspectsKinshipHealth aspects362.196/15271009663Fullwiley Duana1031367MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453355503321The enculturated gene2448709UNINA01042nam0-2200289 --450 991080289780332120240209140551.020240209d1960----kmuy0itay5050 baitaIT 001yyAnnata agraria 1958-1959aziende assegnateEnte per la colonizzazione del Delta PadanoBologna[s. n.]19603 v.31 cm1.: Superficie e tipi d'impresa2.: Colture erbacee ed arboree, dati sommari / Ente per la Colonizzazione del delta Padano3.: Grano tenero autunnale e barbabietola da zuccheroAgrariaStatistiche31123itaEnte per la colonizzazione del delta padano070446486ITUNINAREICATUNIMARCBK9910802897803321A PAT 1482-11602/2024FAGBCA PAT 1482-21603/2024FAGBCA PAT 1482-31604/2024FAGBCFAGBCAnnata agraria 1958-19593882921UNINA
