Search FamilyFun Tools Parent Problem Solver Field Guide to Parenting Pregnancy Calendar ... Solutions A to Z Anemia: Sickle-Cell This disease is an inherited blood disorder that occurs almost exclusively in blacks. It is caused by an abnormality in the pigment hemoglobin hemoglobin S WHEN SHOULD I SUSPECT THAT MY CHILD HAS SICKLE-CELL ANEMIA? All black infants should be screened for sickle-cell anemia at birth. This is particularly important if there is any history of the disease in the family. A definitive diagnosis can be made with simple blood tests. WHAT CAUSES SICKLE-CELL ANEMIA? Sickle-cell disorders are passed genetically from parent to child. If both parents have a gene for hemoglobin S., their child has a 25 percent chance of inheriting both genes and getting sickle-cell anemia. If only one gene is inherited, half of the child's hemoglobin will be normal and will prevent the disease from developing. These children have sickle-cell trait and are usually healthy; however, they can pass on the abnormal gene to their children. One in 12 blacks are healthy carriers of the sickle-cell gene.
