The Sickle Cell Disease In My Family

According to the CDC, sickle cell disease is a hereditary disease where the red blood cells have an unusual shape that prevents them from moving easily through the blood vessels and satisfying their metabolic needs causing them to die faster. People with sickle cell disease often experience pain due to the sickle cell blocking the small blood vessels, anemia due to the low healthy blood cell count, and infections.
Although it is impossible to obtain accurate information about everyone that has the sickle cell disease or the trait in my family, my two brothers and my kids are trait carriers. In fact, a person with sickle cell has one sickle gene but not the disease, however, can either transmit it to his/her children or have at least one child
