    FIVE FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SICKLE CELL DISEASE
  • Corporate Authors:
    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.)
  • Description:
    A child gets sickle cell disease (SCD) when he or she receives two sickle cell genes—one from each parent.

    SCD can be cured for certain patients.

    A child who inherits only one sickle cell gene has sickle cell trait (SCT). If both parents have either SCD or SCT, it is important for them to discuss this information with each other and with a doctor when making decisions about family planning.
