William Warrick Cardozo
William Warrick Cardozo (1905–1962), American physician and pediatrician, who made pioneering investigations into sickle-cell anemia. He concluded in 1937 that the disease is inherited following Mendel’s Laws and almost always occurs in people of African descent. Not all people with sickle cells are necessarily anemic and not all patients die of the disease.
Cardozo studied at Ohio State University. In 1937 he started a private practice in Washington, D.C., and was named part-time instructor in pediatrics at the Howard University College of Medicine and Freedmen's Hospital. He was later promoted to associate professor.
Cardozo's investigations were published in the Archives of Internal Medicine as “Immunologic studies in sickle cell anemia.”
