NemzySeries: No die oo. That's the reason why it should be your first question before even asking her out. Once you know you have marriage plans for her, before asking her to even go out with you - ask for genotype |

Abali1:Do u know its possible to still give birth to a sickling child even from an AS and AA parents. U mentioned bthal s in one of your posts. What most people don't know (even consultant doctors ) is that genotyping for marriage purpose goes beyond d Hb variants of A,C E and S. Its medically possible to still give birth to a sickling child (having SCD crises) even from a homozygous A parent and heterozygous AS parent. This has noting to do with mutation oo |

JeffreyJamez: No they didn't & they also paid the price, that's why alot of them had kids dying off prematurely, these deaths were attributed to "ogbanje" |

Abali1:She is 24 Her last major crises was rili a turbulent period.. She lost her hearing ability. Since then, she's not really been sick again that much My fears is the uncertainty surrounding this whole thing during marriage.. I honestly do not want my kids to suffer. Financially and emotionally, i'm I can take decision.. But you know that, you cannot entirely rule out their participation in that your decision making process |

Punstar:Recently heard about it too.That one can find out the baby's genotype 3mths into the pregnancy.Its the aftermath I dont like |

Punstar:Every child has a right to live. Its one of the fundamental human rights far from morality |

OrangeDream: You AA, so your kids will be fine. Yeah, sickle cell can be very challenging. But, we do live a fulfilling life and we equally love with everything we have. The decision is yours to make. Either you accept her the way she is or you let her be. I say again, I live with sickle cell and I am married and have a kid. Sickle cell doesn't define us. |

maryhaam:It's actually emotionally disturbing, to be searching for a compatible person and it's not even as if the genotype is written on his or her forehead. But can you compare your emotional hurt to that of birthing a baby with Sickle Cell and live in fear of not knowing whether he or she will live long enough. Even after he or she has become an adult, you still fuss over their health. Can you compare your emotional hurt now, to when the SS child starts suffering from discrimination? Being rejected by others especially the opposite sex just because mummy and daddy didn't think it wise to find someone with a compatible genotype to marry? If you are true to yourself, you will find someone who's compatible with you sooner than later. goodluck. |

Abali1:There are 3 major haemoglobin disorders Sickle cell disease scd Alpha thalesemia Beta thalesemia Others Thalesemia trait is also transmitted in the same fashion as d sickle cell trait (s or c). U need to have the homozygous gene for the thalasemia trait b4 u show clinical signs of d diseases ( just like SS trait) or the S haemoglobin in presence of a gene for thal. In simple terms: If ur genotype is AA and you have a gene of thal (ie thalesemia) you will only be a carrier(have beta thalesemia minor) but won't manifest any clinical signs (asymptomatic) If u are AS and u have a gene of thal u will show the same clinical sings and symptoms of a sicklerr. This explains the rare case of an As and AA parents giving birth to a sickler. I believe u must have heard of such cases and d funny thing is that the electrophoresis analysis of d child will show SS. What happened here is that one of d parents is a carrier so a gene of thal was transfered to d child whose genotype happens to be AS( though genotyping of d child using electrophoresis will come our as SS ) u need a more sophisticated diagnostic tool to see d true picture You can also directly inherit thal gene from both parents ( if both are carriers) in this case your genotype is irrelevant u will definitely show d symptoms of a sickler Most doctors don't no or say this cos d incidence of thalasemia disease in not that high in this part of d world but that doesn't mean its not present Am actually typing on transit so pardon my errors |
