What are some signs of the SICKLE CELL TRAIT?

I am a 16 year old girl and my mom told me I had the Sickle cell trait but I want to know if there are signs of the trait like could I die from it or anything. I know that if I was to have kids by someone with the trait that the kids would have the disease but is there a way that they can either get the trait or not have the trait? Please help me and thanks for helping me!
Answer: You have very little chance of dying of carrying the trait. Sickle cell is a recesive gentetic disorder meaning that to have sickle cell anemia you need both traits inherited from both parents. when you have kids if you spouse does not have the Sickle cell trait your kid has a 50% chance of having the trait. If you have a spouse who also has the trait you have a 25% chance of having a kid with actual sickle cell anemia, and 50% chance of havign the trait, also a 25% and, 25% chance he will of you child not having the disease or trait.

What difference Between SICKLE CELL TRAIT & Sickle Cell Disease?

I have Sickle cell trait. Whats the Difference Between Sickle cell trait and Sickle Cell disease? What does Sickle cell trait do? What does both Sickle cell trait & disease affect?
Answer: Sickle cell is the full blown disease characterized by acute and chronic pain in various parts of the body. It is caused by the blood cells being misshapen and not being able to carry oxygen to the various parts of the body. Starve the tissue, organ etc. of oxygen and what you get is pain - acute pain. This can lead to the tissue dying and scar tissue forming. The trait is simply being a carrier of the gene that leads to the full disease but having mild symptoms - this perception is changing at last because people with the trait can often suffer acute problems out of the blue - without warning. We have a very useful guide we can send you giving our experience over 20 years - written by someone with sickle cell - we can even arrange for you to talk with her if you want.

Answer: Sickle cell trait is a recessive trait. (Ss) where little is the trait.

Safe workouts for someone with SICKLE CELL TRAIT?

I was told that if not careful, during exercise I could collapse because I carry the trait sickle cell. I have already fainted and gotten very sick when trying out for cross country during the first run. Im very confused on why the trait can affect me during exercise? Just really curious. And Im not sure if this is the right section, but hopefully I can get both answers.
Answer: You really need to talk with your doc about this because Sickle cell traits vary, and as a result, there are several different specific problems that you might have. The risks and methods to avoid the problems vary depending on the specific problem. Most likely, your situation is one where your blood is incapable of carrying enough oxygen to meet metabolic demands when running or performing strenuous exercise. Sickle cells have abnormal hemoglobin molecules that do not carry oxygen as effectively as normal blood cells. If the problems are caused by inadequate oxygen transport, there isn't too much you can do about it, but maybe if you stay fully hydrated and gradually build up the distance, you might be able to run long distances without any problems. By gradual, it means building up distance over a period of several months, which might not allow you to reach a competitive level this season. There are several other problems besides inadequate oxygen that can occur with sickle cell anemia. Some forms of sickle cells are too sticky or too rigid to travel through the smaller capillaries, so blood flow to peripheral areas gets restricted.

What problems have you encountered raising your child with SICKLE CELL TRAIT?

I know Sickle cell trait is not nearly as concerning as actually having the disease, but my toddlers doctor mentioned that people with Sickle cell trait have pain at high altitudes above 5,000 feet. Im curious about any other concerns for kids with the trait.
Answer: I have Sickle cell trait, I'm 17 and a live a pretty active life. I have never experienced or heard of any problems that come with carrying the trait. I am told though, the only major effect it will have in my life will be if I were to have a child with someone else carrying it. As a result, our child would have a 1/4 chance of having the actual disease.

Does SICKLE CELL TRAIT affect the white blood cells? Does it cause a low white blood cell count?

The reason for my question is my girlfriend told me that her white blood cell count was low and the first thing that popped into my mind was HIV/AIDS so Im freaked. But before she told me she has Sickle cell trait and that it affects white blood cellls and shes had low white blood cells all of her life. She said that they are a little below normal. Just want to know. PLEASE!
Answer: Yep. It can cause lower WBC Count. Let me count the ways: Directly by neutrophils adhering to vascular walls along with sickled RBCs indirectly secondary to hyper-spleenism causing pancytopenia from Hydroxyurea the only medication approved for treatment of sickle cell. (Not to mention that African decent is one of the genetic predispositions to idiopathic leukopenia.) .......................................... low white blood count Sometimes the cause of a low white blood cell count can't be determined (idiopathic). Known causes of a low white blood cell count (leukopenia) include: Infections, such as viral infections and HIV Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus Certain medications, especially those used in chemotherapy and some antibiotics Radiation therapy Bone marrow disease, such as leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes White blood cells help fight infection in your body. A normal white blood cell count ranges from 4,500 to 10,000 cells per microliter of blood. A mild decrease in white blood cells below 4,500 cells per microliter doesn't necessarily indicate a serious illness. However, a dangerously low white blood cell count — below 2,500 cells per microliter — increases the risk of serious infection. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/low-white-blood-cell-count/AN00726 Neutropenia is a low count of one type of white blood cell, the netrophil. What conditions are associated with neutropenia? Neutropenia can be present (though it is relatively uncommon) in normal healthy individuals, notably in blacks and Yemenite Jews. Causes of neutropenia from disease can be categorized as resulting from decreased production of white blood cells, destruction of white blood cells after they are produced, or pooling of white blood cells (accumulation of the white blood cells out of the circulation). Diseases causing decreased production of white blood cells include drug toxicity, vitamin deficiencies, and medical diseases such as blood diseases, infections (virus diseases, tuberculosis, typhoid), abnormalities of the bone marrow disorders, or be cyclic (varying in severity week to week, month to month, perhaps related to biorhythms). Destruction of white blood cells can occur as a result of antibodies attacking the cells (such as in Felty's syndrome) or from drugs stimulating the immune system to attack the cells. Pooling of white blood cells occurs with some overwhelming infections, heart-lung bypass during heart surgery, and hemodialysis. http://www.medicinenet.com/neutropenia/article.htm Sickle RBCs adhere to endothelium because of increased stickiness. The endothelium participates in this process as do neutrophiles, which also express increased levels of adhesive molecules. http://www.emedicine.com/MED/topic2126.htm ...................................... the only drug currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of SCD is hydroxyurea. Hydroxyurea is a potentially leukemogenic and carcinogenic agent. Potential complications referable to long-term use are not yet known. Its use also requires frequent blood testing and monitoring, with special attention to development of leukopenia and/or thrombocytopenia. http://www.emedicine.com/MED/topic2126.htm .................................. Leukopenia as part of pancytopenia due to hyperspleenism. Pancytopenia is generally due to diseases affecting the bone marrow, although peripheral destruction of all lines of blood cells in hypersplenism (overactive spleen) is a recognised cause Splenomegaly grouped on the basis of the pathogenic mechanism Increased function Abnormal blood flow Infiltration Removal of defective RBCs spherocytosis thalassemia hemoglobinopathies nutritional anemias early sickle cell anemia .................... Having said all of that, sickle trait in no way rules out all the other causes of leukopenia. The best way to rule out HIV is to test for HIV.

How is the SICKLE CELL TRAIT affected by natural selection?

Help needed (science people, Im looking for you guys)!!!!! I have no idea how to explain how the Sickle cell trait is controlled by natural selection. Anyone out there who can clarify this? Also, why is Huntingtons disease not affected by natural selection? @Abi: But doesnt that mean that the Sickle cell trait gets weeded out eventually after some time? Then why is it still prevalent?
Answer: I don't know about Huntington's, but I think I know why sickle cell is still around. It is most common in Africa and people who's ancestors came from Africa, and I'm not being racist it's just a fact, and the reason why natural selection hasn't eliminated it is because it is believed people with sickle cell anemia are less likely to get malaria. This being said Malaria is one of the most common causes of death in Africa, so people who have sickle cell are more likely to survive. Also not everyone who carries the sickle cell gene has sickle cell, so even though they might not have it, it is possible their kids can, carrying on the trait.

I have SICKLE CELL TRAIT but Neither Of My Parents Have It?

is it possible that neither of my parents can have the trait [ sickle cell] but i do?
Answer: Yes. Sickle Cell is what is called a homozygous recessive trait. For example if S is the normal allele and s is the sickle cell allele then you are ss. One "s" came from your father and one "s" came from your mother, so they would have to be Ss. If you write Ss across and Ss down and match them you'd get SS, Ss, Ss, and ss. So 1 in 4 of their children should be SS normal, half of their children Ss normal but a carrier and 1 in 4 should be ss affected. ___S s S SS Ss s Ss ss

Answer: well sickle-cell trait means you're a carrier, not a sickler, you shouldn't worry about anything rather than be selective when it comes to your future husband cuz of the possibility of passing genes down to ur unborn children. In the mean time, you have nothing to worry about, iron deficiency is a separate issue you could work it out with your doctor and try to adjust your diet by eating fortified cereals, more red meat, and not taking tea right after meals. best of luck,

If my boyfriend has SICKLE CELL TRAIT does that mean our children could get the disorder?

Im pregnant with twins I dont carry the Sickle cell trait but the father does; now does that mean if he passes it to the twins that they can have the disorder or just the trait? Im very concerned. Thanks for your answer in advance.
Answer: Sickle cell is passed down as an autosomal recessive trait. So if your husband has the trait, and you are sure that you DONT have the trait, then there is a 50% chance that he will pass the trait to the twins... which means that there is a possibility that they may be carriers, but they cannot have the disorder.. it requires two recessive genes, one from each parent for a person to have Sickle cell anemia . So two parents having the trait, or two parents having the disease can pass on the disorder to their children. On the plus side, there is a 50% chance that they may not get the trait at all...since you don't have the trait..
