What else can I help you with?
Do monkies and primates have sickle cell naturally and do any animals have sickle cell?
Yes
What groups get sickle cell disease?
A person can only inherit sickle-cell genes if some of their ancestors came from certain regions in Africa where the inhabitants carry sickle-cell genes. A person with one sickle-cell gene has sickle-cell trait, a milder problem. If both father and mother pass on sickle-cell genes, the child, with two genes, will have sickle-cell disease.
Who has a sickle cell trait?
People who inherit one sickle cell gene are said to have sickle cell trait. This means they carry the gene but do not typically have symptoms of sickle cell disease. It is important for individuals with sickle cell trait to be aware of their status for proper medical management and genetic counseling.
Can you catch sickle cell trait from kissing?
No, sickle cell trait is a genetic condition that is inherited from one's parents and is not spread through kissing or any other form of casual contact. It is important to understand the genetic basis of sickle cell trait and discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider.
Could the same genetic condition that causes sickle cell anemia can also protect against any other diseases?
A single sickle-cell gene protects against malaria. Two sickle-cell genes produce sickle-cell disease.
Is there any genotype that is SC?
Yes, the genotype SC refers to individuals who have inherited one sickle cell allele (S) and one C allele, resulting in a sickle cell trait that is different from having sickle cell disease. This genotype can lead to some symptoms similar to sickle cell disease under certain conditions.
Can you have a seizure when you have sickle sell anemia?
sicklers are as any normal person so they can get seizure not because sickle cell disease , but because any other disease
What are the chances of a person having a sickle cell disease passing the disease to their offspring?
If one represents a sickle cell gene thus "C" and a normal gene thus "O" then both parents are: Mum CO Dad CO The possibilities for their children are therefore CC OO CO CO in those proportion so 1in 4 will have sickle cell anaemia, 2 in 4 will be carriers (like their parents) and 1/4 will be normal.
Why is sickle cell anemia beneficial in some regions but harmful in others?
Sickle cell anemia is beneficial in regions with high malaria prevalence because it provides some degree of protection against the disease. In these regions, individuals with sickle cell trait have a survival advantage in fighting off malaria compared to those without the trait. However, in regions where malaria is not prevalent, the negative health effects of sickle cell anemia, such as anemia and organ damage, outweigh any potential benefits.
Can you spread sickle cell?
Sickle cell is not a germ, it's a disease! The spreading of this disease occurs when two people carry the trait of sickle cell in their genetic makeup and they have children. The odds of any child born to parents who carry the trait are different each time. 50% can be born with just trait, 1 out of 4 will be born with Sickle Cell Anemia and 1 out of 4 will be born without anything. Then there are varied levels of Sickle Cell, there's Anemia (SS), Disease (SC). it is heredity
Is there any famous person with sickle-cell disease?
prodigy of mobb deep
What are atleast facts about sickle cell anemia?
1. Sickle Cell was the 1st genetic disorder discovered2. 1 in every 500 Black babies born have Sickle Cell However any one of any race can have sickle cell this is why in more than 40 states every single baby born is tested for sickle cell 3. Sickle Pain happen because the blood flow is blocked and the tissue is dying, the same reason that people have pain from a heart attack. So think of a crises as having heart attacks all over your body 4. Pain is not the only symptom of Sickle cell, every sickle cell champion is not in pain but blood flow can be interrupted any where even in your organs this is why the most devastating thing that this disease can do is cause a STROKE. 5. There is only 1 medication that is FDA approved To treat "Sickle Cell" (many medications treat the symptoms) but HYDROYUREA is the only medication to treat the disease.
