Can Italians get sicle cell?
Although some ethnicities are more prone to getting diseases than others, none are immune to them. Sickle cell disease is hereditary, meaning that if a parent has the gene for sickle cell disease, then it can be passed to the child, who may either have it, or become a "carrier" (someone who has the gene, but traits of SCD do not show up). So, YES, Italians can get sickle cell disease. Written by a high school freshman (yeah, we're not that dumb)
