Sickle cell disease is a genetic condition that a child inherits from their parents, and symptoms typically manifest in early childhood. A child cannot "get" sickle cell disease at the age of sixteen if they do not already have the genetic traits for it. However, if a person has the sickle cell trait, they may not show symptoms until later in life, but the underlying genetic condition is present from birth. Therefore, a child diagnosed with sickle cell disease at sixteen would have had it since birth, but symptoms may not have appeared until later.
