The prevalence of sickle cell disease varies by region, but in the United States, it is estimated that approximately 1 in 365 African American births are affected. In Georgia, the percentage of individuals with sickle cell disease is roughly estimated to be around 0.2% to 0.4% of the population, reflecting similar trends seen in other states with significant African American populations. Accurate statistics may vary, so it's advisable to consult local health departments or specific studies for the most current data.
