GENOTYPE: A Determinate Factor In Marriage by durubrian(m): 2:19pm On May 01, 2016 |
Over the years, marriages have been conducted without ascertaining the genotype of the intending couples. Hence, many families have given birth to children and they die in their face. Research have shown that most of these children whose genotype is 'SS' dose not live up to two decades. And when they die at such a tender age, the family members tag them an ogbanje(reincarnate) in igbo or abiku(predestined to die) in yoruba, not knowing that it was their ignorance that brought about the death of these children. Also, a research conducted examined defined symptoms of 100 children classified as ogbanje. Haemoglobin analysis showed that 70 of the 100 children had sickle cell disease(SCD) and thereby died in their adolescent age. What is genotype? Genotype is the genetic make up of an individual. It(genotype) shows the inherited traits of an individual from his parents. That is why people are able to run paternity test. Why is genotype a determinant factor in marriage? There are three possible genotype an individual can possess which are; - AA normal child - AS normal but carrier of sickle cell -SS sickle cell anamiea popularly called sickler. When a newly wedded couples having both a genotype of AS, when you cross breed it you will find out that there is every 25% chance of giving birth to a child with a genotype of SS. Effects of giving birth to a child whose genotype is SS. Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder in which red blood cells(RBCs) are abnormally shaped. This abnormality can result in painful episodes, serious infections chronic anamiea and damage to body organs. Someone who inherits a sickle cell gene from each parent has haemoglobin SS disease also called sickle cell anamiea. The individual immune system is weak and hence can suffer from tissue and bone damage, strokes and organ failure. The body system is subject to high risk of infections. These individuals suffers severe sickness from child birth and hence causes pains, worries and anxieties to Their parents. Only minority survive at this tender age, majority die after their parents must have spent so much seeking for a cure. In conclusion, genotyping(a test carried out to know the genotype make up of an individual) is very essential before marriage. I hereby, advice every couple who wants to wed to go for genotyping before heading on with the marriage plans, in other to avoid the consequences it might bring upon you and your family. Nevertheless, there are other important test intending couples are expected to run such as ABO blood group, HIV but of these, genotype is very essential. 11 Likes 1 Share

Since a PhD holder could not add a bit to d betterment of Nigeria, I think we should support a reformed Democrat for the next remaining years than the hates. PMB is the only hope to salvage Nigeria from its mess. Vulgar words will strictly not be entertained on this thread. 31 Likes 2 Shares |

Nice topic OP, I had the best relationship i could ever think of, and I ad already planned my life around her, sadly i made a mistake not asking the Genotype, tried holding on to the relationship but mehn when people tell you about the plight of SS kids, you just know it's not worth the pain. Everyone should check their Genotype. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Op You forgot to add Ac and Sc C too is sickle in nature The genotype issue is very important. Taking risk for SS, Sc and As is not worth it. The pain can depress someone's life (parent) ... There is NOTHING as UNCONDITIONAL love. It doesn't exist. The real love is the "common sense" love. 22 Likes 2 Shares |

..... .. Being SS is one thing I do not even wish for my enemy after seeing the travails a close friend goes through on almost daily basis... ... I am AS and I know that getting married to a woman who is AA is non-negotiable... .... For those who intend to get married and have kids, it's very important that they go for the required tests to avoid birthing a child who will be miserable for most of his/her life..... 10 Likes 2 Shares |
