African DNA is missing from most genetic studies. Sally lives with pain because of an illness that' is still poorly understood. She has sickle cell - a disease that mainly affects Africans. Scientists in Nigeria are trying to fix the problem. Thanks for listening. Let us know what you think. #thecomb Get in touch: [email protected]
