What is sickle cell anemia?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
People who have sickle cell anemia inherit two faulty hemoglobin genes, called hemoglobin S, one from each parent. A person has sickle cell trait when the hemoglobin S gene is inherited from only one parent and a normal hemoglobin gene hemoglobin A, is inherited from the other.
