Under blood group, the letters AS and SS are used in reference to sickle cell disease. AC means that one is carrying the sickle cell disease gene while SS means that one has sickle cell disease.
Hemoglobin SS disease (Hb SS)
SS,Ss
CC is the phenotype for sickle cell anemia. They can also have SS or SC genotypes. These people can marry only some other genotypes and not have their children develop the disease.
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.

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
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
It is also called sickle cell anemia, sicklemia, or SS disease
It is also called sickle cell anemia, meniscocytosis, or sicklemia
It is also called sickle cell anemia, meniscocytosis, or SS disease
Although sickle cell anemia(SS) and sickle cell disease(SC) are considered genetic mutations, I believe the question is...What are possible causes for a sickle cell attack? Anything that causes a constriction of the blood vessels would seem to be a cause. Smoking, coffee, and alcohol to name a few. Dehydration also appears to play a big role.
