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.
How does a person with one sickle cell different than two Sickle cell?
A person with one sickle cell is a "carrier". This means that they have the dormant cell in their genetic composition, and if combined with another with the "carrier" gene, they run the high risk on concieving a child with the blood disease-one who has two sickle cells. A person with two sickle cells, has the sickle cell disease and are carriers(The gene is not dormant but active). Hope this simplifies and explains it for you.
