hemoglobin. That's the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the tissues of the body. So, sickle cell disease interferes with the delivery of oxygen to the tissues. SCD is a genetic condition that is present at birth. It is inherited when a child receives two genes-one from each parent that code for abnormal hemoglobin. Normal red blood cells can live up to 120 days.But,sickle cells only live for about 10 to 20 days.The sickled cells also damage the spleen.This puts you are at greater risk for infections. There are several types of SCD.The specific type of SCD a person has depends on the genes they inherited from their parents.People with SCD inherit genes that contain instructions,or code,for abnormal hemoglobin.
People who have this form of SCD inherit two genes, one from each parent,that code for hemoglobin"S."Hemoglobin S is an abnormal form of hemoglobin that causes the red cells to become rigid,and sickle shaped.This is commonly called sickle cell anemia and is usually the most severe form of the disease. People who have this form of SCD inherit a hemoglobin "S" gene from oneparent and a gene for a different type of abnormal hemoglobin called"C"from the other parent.This is usually a milder form of SCD. People who have sickle cell trait(SCT) inherit a hemoglobin"S"gene fromone parent and a normal gene (one that codes for hemoglobin"A") from the other parent.People with SCT usually do not have any of the signs of the disease.However,in rare cases, a person with SCT may develop health problems. Additionally,people who have SCT can pass the abnormal hemoglobin "S" gene on to their children.
