Parents with sickle cell Children watch them wail in pain
helplessly almost every day, the situation is frustrating. No amount of love
will stop the pain at that point, but it can be prevented.
According to report, about 25% of adults throughout the
country have the sickle cell trait, AS. AS is in the constituents of genotype
which is simply refers to haemoglobin gene constituents. Genes are always in
pairs and overall expression depends whether dominant, recessive or X-linked. Only
when the two are abnormal then there is a great problem.
Sickle cell disease (a recessive disorder) is a very serious
medical condition with high prevalence rate in sub Saharan Africa. Intending
couples must make sure to know their genotypes and be sure it's compatible for
marriage before going ahead to get married.
Anyone with Sickle Cell Armenia experience? Do you know
anyone suffering of the disease?
