Technically anyone could get Sickle Cell. If one of your parents had a sickle cell anemia trait they could have passed it down to their child. If both of them had it then they definitly passed it down to their child. If a person is trying to find out if they have Sickle Cell Anemia then they should see someone who can conduct a pedigree. Or a gene tracer. This was taught to me in Science class a couple years ago so the information could not be completely accurate.
What else can I help you with?
Is sickle cell heterozygous?
yes there are two concentrations of sickle cell they are: sickle cell trait: co-dominance is established and only 50% of your cells are malformed sickle cell anemia: sickle cell is totally dominant and all cells are malformed, this only happens when both alleles are coded for sickle cell

What are atleast facts about sickle cell anemia?
1.

Sickle Pain happen because the blood flow is blocked and the tissue is dying, the same reason that people have pain from a heart attack.

Does sickle cell only affect black people?
Sickle cell appears in several geographical regions in the world and is attached to different genes in those areas. It appears where malaria is endemic. The African form is the most common. Different forms developed in Southern Greece, Southern Afghanistan, and a few other places. The African form affects Black people.
Can child be born with sickle cell if one parent is sickle cell carrier and another is normal?
