Please,i want someone to educate me on SC blood genotype.Is there anything like that and can someone with AA marry S.C. genotype.What will be the outcome when AA and SC marries.

/

which one be s.c.?

There are different types of Hemoglobin; among them are Hemoglobin A, Hemoglobin S and Hemoglobin C. Hemoglobin C is very rare. Everyone must have a pair of these hemoglobin in their blood, each inherited from both parents. The pairing might be in any of the following formations: AA, AS, AC, SC,SS OR CC.

A man with AA can marry anyone without any problem (medically); likewise the woman.

A man or woman with AS or AC or SS or SC or CC (very rare) cannot marry each other, if they want to avoid SS or SC. They must marry a partner with AA, if they don't want to born a child with Sickle call syndrome. If AS or AC marry each other, they have 25% chance of having a sickle child at every birth. If they marry SS or SC, they have 50% chance of having a sickle cell child at every birth. If SS or SC marry each other, all their children will have Sickle cell

SC and SS are almost the same only that SS suffers more severe crisis than SC carrier. You might not notice the presence of the disease on the body of SC carrier, unlike in SS.

Thanks for the reply.I was told that SC is common in Ghana side but this lady's parents are Nigerian,although she told me her mum grew up in Ghana,so how come this lady is SC?
Is it possible for someone's genotype to change from one to another if you grew up or spend many years in another part of the world and again, how risky is it if AA marries SC in terms of their offspring.

It's not possible for genotype to change after sometime. once inherited, it is inherited. It can't be change by changing environment. Note, that Ac is prevalent in Ghana do not mean it is perculiar to Ghanaian alone. That's the genotype she inherited from her Nigerian parent. AA and SC, the offspring will definately be AC or AS less risky but carriers

Pls if a lady is SC how would the person looks like in terms of her heath,body stature,colour of the eye.

Normal as every other human, even people with SS you hardly judge by physical appearance. If one is AC or AS it only means the C or S haemoglobin is susceptible to attack as compare to the A haemoglobin and do not in any way imply one is a lower human

The only thing that can change the genotype is an intentional act like Bone Marrow transplant. This technology has been proven to be the only permanent cure to SS; however, it is new, very expensive and cannot be done in any part of Africa, and carries some risks. Naturally, environment or time cannot change genotype. Note: Divine Miracle can change it as well - it has happened in my face.

Again, some SS carriers may start experiencing crisis at late age (as late as 40s). If these sets of people go for test in a quack lab, definitely the lab technician will assume AA or AS since the person is not having the symptom. Later in life it will become obvious when the symptom have come up, and another lab technician will report SS.

Thank you 4 ur contribution.we need scientific/medical facts but not religion/miraculous experience as it does not provide a general or common solution that can be studied or understood by man.

I just found out that I'm CC. What are the implications?thank you

Pls I need your advice urgently pls. Can a guy of AS genotype go ahead and marry SC lady, what can b their offspring outcome. Thanks
