Mathematical Modeling of Sickle Cell Anaemia in Nigeria with Cartesian Product of Sets and Relations
Tsok, S.H.; Meshelia, I.B. & Datiri, R.D.
Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the commonest monogenetic disease worldwide and its greatest burden found in Sub-Saharan
Africa especially Nigeria. Genotype test before contracting marriages has become very imperative because of the danger it
poses on the couples, the offspring and in fact the society at large. This work used Cartesian product of sets and relations on
sets, to explain how sickle cell anaemia can easily be spread fast, if measures are not taken. Finally we gave suggestions on
how to overcome the menace.
Keywords
