Is sickle cell disease autosomal or x-linked or chromosomal?

Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that it is caused by a mutation in one of the autosomal chromosomes (chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes). In the case of sickle cell disease, the mutation occurs in the gene encoding the beta-globin subunit of hemoglobin on chromosome 11.

Is sickle cell anemia dominant recessive x-linked recessive a chromosomal error or a multi-factorial trait?

Sickle cell anemia is a recessive genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the HBB gene, located on chromosome 11. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning a person needs to inherit two abnormal copies of the gene (one from each parent) to have the disease. It is not an X-linked disorder or a multifactoial trait.
