SS sickle disease, or sickle cell anemia, is a genetic blood disorder characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin, known as hemoglobin S. This leads to the distortion of red blood cells into a sickle shape, causing blockages in blood vessels, pain crises, and various complications. SC sickle disease occurs when an individual inherits one sickle cell gene (hemoglobin S) and one gene for hemoglobin C. While SC disease is generally milder than SS disease, it can still result in similar health issues.
What else can I help you with?
What are other names for sickle cell anemia?
Hemoglobin SS disease (Hb SS)
What is the different between Sc and SS genotype child?
A child with SC genotype inherits one sickle cell gene and one gene for hemoglobin C, while a child with SS genotype inherits two sickle cell genes. SC genotype typically results in milder symptoms compared to SS genotype, which is associated with more severe complications such as frequent pain crises and organ damage. Both genotypes can still lead to sickle cell disease and require management and monitoring.
What does AS and SS under blood group mean?
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.
For sickle-cell disease assume S is the dominant allele and s the recessive allele Which genotypes are possible for offspring of a carrier (Ss) and a person who lacks the sickle-cell allele (SS)?
SS,Ss
A child has sickle-cell disease (ss) but neither parent is ill What must be true of her parents genotypes?
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
If a child has sickle-cell disease (ss) but neither parent is ill. What must be true of he parents' genotypes?
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
Can you spread sickle cell?
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
A child has sickle-cell disease (ss) but neither parent is ill. What must be true of her parents and rsquo genotypes?
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
Is there any genotype that is SC?
Yes, the genotype SC refers to individuals who have inherited one sickle cell allele (S) and one C allele, resulting in a sickle cell trait that is different from having sickle cell disease. This genotype can lead to some symptoms similar to sickle cell disease under certain conditions.
What is meniscocytosis also called?
It is also called sickle cell anemia, sicklemia, or SS disease
What is sicklemia also called?

What is SS disease also called?
