Know your genotype before you say yes to that handsome guy or to that beautiful lady whom you wish to spend the rest of your life with... It is very paramount to note that in as much as marriage is concerned, genotype compatibility is far better than love. This is because love might disappear when you get a sickle cell child. It will consume almost all the money you make as staying in the hospital for most days of the year will be the case. Money made by the parents will be spent on medical bills.
Genotype & It's Appropriate Suitor:
AA + AA = All the children will be 100% AA which make this combination Excellent
AA + AS = 50% chance of a child conceived to AA and 50% chance of a child conceived to be AS which make this combination Good
AA + SS = All the children will be 100% carriers i.e AS which make this condition Fair
AS + AS = Every pregnancy has a 25% of the child being AA, 50% of being AS and 25% of being SS. This condition is Bad. Intending couples with this combination shouldn't get married for health reasons as they might be unlucky to give birth to a child with SS.
AS + SS = Every pregnancy has a 50% chance of being AS and 50% chance of being SS. This condition is Worse. Intending couples with this condition shouldn't get married with this combination for health reasons.
SS + SS = All the children will be 100% SS. This condition is extremely dangerous. (In fact, don't try it)

Don't forget Health is wealth.
