No. Sickle Cell is not an infectious disease, but is genetic.
No, sickle cell disease is not cancerous.
Sickle cell disease is a mutation in the gene that codes for hemoglobin, which causes the hemoglobin and the cell to become elongated and look like a sickle rather than its normal disc shape.
sickle cell anemia. If you are only heterozygous for this disease it is simply called sickle trait.
Sickle Cell Disease is a blood disorder that is permanent. It is a lifelong struggle for those who have it. Those suffering from the disease need to take a variety of medications in order to maintain their health and survive.
From my own opinion:I believe that a Karotype would NOT reveal the presence of sickle-cell disease because a karotype only shows pictures of all the chromosomes in a cell..But sickle-cell disease causes red blood cells to become sickle-shaped. So, basically, it involves red blood cells, not chromosomes.
