AlphaT1: Thanks again. I also think people that are made moderators of a particular section should be individuals who have a good grasp of the subject of discourse, because if this was the case the Mod should have advised the Op to rephrase his topic and possibly remove all forms of ambiguity. I hope Seun will act appropriately. seun 1 Like 1 Share |

BroZuma:Those with sickle cell anaemia can be managed but to prevent the disease premarital counselling is very important. An SS or AS should only marry an AA to prevent the conception of an SS. |

From my little knowledge of biology it is impossible.. AA and AS crosses even up to the forth generation will not give nothing less than AS and AA |

sainty2k3: ![]() ![]() ![]() Oga, i am only trying to help your confused state by explaining things to you on your level. I can only discuss this subject professionally & holistically with a fellow medical practitioner with a mind to learn and expand our horizon on the subject. It is clear that you are simply confused and not ready to be redeemed from this misleading information you are holding onto tenaciously. You are not a medical lab scientist nor a pathologist so I can understand why you can't reason on same page with some of us who are medically trained. I simply don't want to stretch the issue at hand beyond your layman's comprehension. I assume that, you are an inquisitive person therefore I would recommend that you make out time to read about the thalassamias and compare your findings with that of SCA especially in the area of clinical findings & laboratory diagnosis. Pls, stop confusing the public. Thalassamias are rare among the black population. Prevalence is high in Asian countries as well as the Middle east. So Nigerians need not worry about the condition. A proper knowledge of it is essential for us especially medical practitioners. Until you do that, an recalibrate your senses, don't quote me pls. 1 Like |

JikanBaura: ![]() ![]() ![]() Hb SC is a variant of Hb SS but they are both sickle cell anaemia. Your brother can only marry someone who is Hb AA in other to have healthy offsprings. Marrying someone who is AS, AC, SS, SC is a big No. Cases of SC are treated same well as SS. Cheers! |

innosaint27:I can see you have nothing to offer but insult, just don't want you to keep disgracing our profession with this your attitude. Thallasemia are not as rare as we previously thought they are https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2932515/ That's a research by prof shokunbi, Dr Kotila et all. Now if you are really a hematologist I'm not expecting you to contend the Outcome of their study , except u have a counter study |
Re: Yes, It Is Not Impossible. 'AA' Can Marry 'AS' And Give Birth To 'SS' by DrAdonis: 3:39pm On Jul 16, 2017 |
Half knowledge is more dangerous than total ignorance. Sickle cell disease is different from thalassemia and everything the op wrote is tautology. AS and AA cannot give birth to SS based on any known principle of human genetics. Nairaland should be careful with what they promote to the homepage. |
Re: Yes, It Is Not Impossible. 'AA' Can Marry 'AS' And Give Birth To 'SS' by eaglechild: 3:41pm On Jul 16, 2017 |
jnrremedy:The heading is wrong. AA, AS, SS refer to genotypes not phenotypes. One cannot just manufacture scientific terms and attempt to explain them away. You cannot tell me the SS he is talking about is phenotype that is scientific slander. Someone with SS or SC genotype has sickle cell disease which is the phenotypic manifestation. |

sainty2k3: ![]() ![]() ![]() Kudos to the researchers for their efforts in trying to shed light on the PREVALENCE OF BETA THALASSAMIA TRAITS in Nigeria. But, OP did you notice that the research publication was in 2009 and not current? Did you also notice that, only 50 subjects were enrolled in the study? Did you notice that, those 50 subjects were all in Ibadan? Need I remind you that the population of Nigeria is over 170 million and as a result the research finding cannot be said to be significant in the general population. Although the researchers confined their study to south west of Nigeria, Ibadan to be exact. Moreover, you seem not to have understood the aim of the study. Their aim was to acertain the prevalence of beta thalassamia trait & not the disease itself. Furthermore, the researchers clearly aligned themselves to all I have been tying to make you understand since yesterday but you simply can't see beyond the misleading knowledge you have sunk yourself into. Please, go thru the article again and gain some understanding. All 50 subjects were only screened for Beta thalassamia trait. The result obtained from the research is to determine the prevalence of those with the trait for beta thalassamia and not sufferers of the disease as the disease itself is very rare in this part of the world. I just don't know why you like confusing yourself. BTW, what exactly is your discipline? Cos you talking about disgracing OUR PROFESSION got me thinking. Cos if u are anywhere near the medical profession or an allied health professional, your reasoning won't be this vague. |
Re: Yes, It Is Not Impossible. 'AA' Can Marry 'AS' And Give Birth To 'SS' by Bridgy450(f): 4:25pm On Jul 16, 2017 |
OP, I get the point you are making, but your topic is quite misleading for a mixed audience. What most people know is the true SS. You didn't really differentiate SBetathal from the true SS for everyone to understand. It will go a long way if you simplify your write-up, make it simple for all. Thanks. |
Re: Yes, It Is Not Impossible. 'AA' Can Marry 'AS' And Give Birth To 'SS' by sainty2k3(m): 4:53pm On Jul 16, 2017 |
innosaint27:You understand nothing about that study , so if the prevalence wasn't rare in 2009, u think it would be rare In 2017. , like I responded to a post by more intellectual fellow, there are researches ongoing which I'm aware of, centered on findind the prevalence of thalassemia using molecular studies, till its published we'll rely on the current knowledge and great contributions from the author of that articlw I quoted earlier. So do I need to also clarify for you that beta thalassemia trait is the same as A-beta thalassemia which was the main subject of discuss in my post as it is mostly misdiagnosed as AA on our conventional HB electrophoresis And yes you are disgracing our profession by ignoring a constructive way of argument to be using abusive words and insults, that's not a conduct expected from someone you claimed to be (that's if you are really who you claim to be) |
Re: Yes, It Is Not Impossible. 'AA' Can Marry 'AS' And Give Birth To 'SS' by peacettw: 6:26pm On Jul 16, 2017 |
sainty2k3: That study was quite enlightening. From the study, almost a third of the subjects studied had the classical b-thal trait wrongly tagged as AA...and just like the Sickle cell trait if they marry anyone with the AS gene stands the risk of giving birth to a child with Sickle cell disease but in this case S b-thal. Thanks again for the article |

sainty2k3: Like I stated early, misdiagnosing sickle cell thalassemia as AS, or even SS doesn't justify your proposition. We all know that thalassemia presents as a disease spectrum with varying fatality and severity. If you run into the so-called situation where AA xAS=SS, you should certainly review your protocols, labs, and personnel, because you have not certainly made a new discovery! Oh, BTW, there something called Sickle thalassemia: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/sca/ |
